Ageing
The wine remained in the same French-oak vessels with its full lees until May 2025. It was then settled and bottled.

Tasting profile
Bright, intense straw yellow. Aromas characteristic of Vermentino evoke aromatic herbs, field flowers and sweet spices. The palate is full and harmonious, with floral and herbal notes returning alongside almond nuances on the finish. Long and notably savoury.
Vintage notes
The 2024 growing season was marked by pronounced weather fluctuations. A warm, rainy winter prompted early budbreak, followed by a cool and wet spring. Summer brought very high temperatures and severe drought. Rain returned only at the end of August, and September was temperate with several further rainfall events.
