About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from a south-west-facing hillside vineyard in Giasbana, San Floriano del Collio, at approximately 244–274 metres above sea level. The medium-to-steep slopes have Eocene marl-and-sandstone soils. The vines average 15 years of age and are Guyot trained.
Grapes
Ribolla Gialla, a late-budding and late-ripening white variety historically associated with the local hills.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand into crates during the second half of September or at the beginning of October. They undergo approximately 12 hours of skin contact before gentle pressing. The must then ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
Ageing
A small portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels.
Tasting profile
Brilliant straw yellow with faint green reflections. The bouquet is delicately floral, with acacia blossom and jasmine. The palate is elegant and fresh, showing pleasant acidity and a citrus finish.
Serving and pairing
Suitable as an aperitif and with seafood starters, fish- or vegetable-based first courses, prosciutto and fresh cheeses.
