Food Matching Note:
Excellent as an aperitif, it is very best served with hors-d'oeuvres and fish and shellfish dishes. It's the perfect summer wine, but its gastronomic pairings know no seasonal limits.
Tasting Note:
The bouquet is reminiscent of exotic fruits, ripe pears, hawthorn and acacia honey. In the mouth it is warm and velvety, with attractive freshness and a long-lasting finish.
Vinification Note:
Grapes are collected in 20 kg baskets. Half of the grapes are then destemmed and crushed and submitted to a cold maceration for 24 hours at a temperature of 10 °C. At the end of the maceration grapes are softly pressed. At the same time the other half of the grapes are directly put into the presses prior to crushing. The first juice (the "flower") is then separated from the skins by a gentle pressing. The must obtained from these two vinification methods is then kept in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, where the fermentation is carried out a about 18-20°C. Once the fermentation is completed, the wine obtained from cryomaceration will then put together with the one obtained with traditional method and stored at 5 °C in order to prevent the malolactic fermentation from taking place.
