Wine Ageing:6 Months in stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 Months in Large oak casks
Winemaking Style:Traditional
Harvest:The vintage began with an early budburst in April, followed by a cold spring with frosts that slightly affected the crop. Despite delayed flowering, the hot summer kept the harvest date on September 18th, typical of recent years. The warm, dry conditions and mild autumn produced grapes of excellent quality, with balanced sugar and acidity.
Winemaking:Grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is transferred by gravity into fermentation tanks, minimizing handling and oxidation to preserve purity. From the outset, the estate has chosen to avoid malolactic fermentation, a deliberate decision that retains the natural acidity
Viticulture:This vineyard is based on a unique terroir of hard rhyolite, volcanic rock formed in the primary era, covered with a sandy loam soil. This composition gives the soil excellent drainage and low vigour, ideal conditions for producing grapes of remarkable concentration and finesse.
Food Pairing:Omelette with porcini mushrooms, sea cicada and shellfish, asparagus, endives, and artichokes
