About this wine

Grapes

100% Pelaverga Piccolo.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and crushed before fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and does not exceed 25°C, with gentle pump-overs. Maceration lasts no more than five days, preserving the variety's freshness and aromatic character. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel.

Ageing

Approximately four months in small ceramic containers.

Tasting profile

Pale ruby red. The intense, distinctive bouquet is led by white pepper, wild strawberry, cherry, rose and violet, with nuances of herbs and citrus. The palate is spicy, floral and elegant, combining freshness and balance with fine tannins and a light alcoholic profile. The finish is long and spicy, with lingering pepper and fruit notes.

Serving and pairing

Serve at approximately 14°C. Its freshness and balance give it broad gastronomic versatility.
