About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The selected white grapes come from the Abruzzo Region. The vineyards have medium-textured clay soils and use awning and espalier training systems. Harvest is usually early.

Grapes

White grapes.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the grapes undergo cryo-maceration and vacuum pressing to isolate the free-run must. The must is cold-clarified, and only its clear fraction is fermented at low temperature in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The prise de mousse then takes place in an autoclave according to the Martinotti, or Charmat, method, preserving the grapes’ freshness and aromatic character.

Technical data

Alcohol: 12% vol. Available format: 0.75 L.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with delicate greenish reflections. The nose is highly fragrant and marked by clear white-flower aromas. Vibrant freshness and sapidity lend the palate momentum and a dynamic progression.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 6–8°C in a flute. Particularly suited to seafood and delicate raw-fish dishes.
