Vinification
Manual harvesting of the grapes which are de-stemmed, crushed and left to macerate for about 38 days in terracotta amphorae. During this period, a series of manual pumping over are performed every day. This operation serves
to promote oxygenation and the passage of color.
At the end of the period in
which the must has remained in contact with the skins, the drawing and pressing takes place. The must thus obtained is placed in a stainless steel tank at a controlled temperature for about 1 week.
The aging of the wine will continue in the Amphora for about 1 year until bottling which usually takes place in summer.
Then it will be left to refine in the bottle for at least 1 year, before being put on sale.
tasting notes
Intense straw yellow color with light greenish reflections. On the nose hints of apple and white flowers. The flavor is dry, fruity and with moderate acidity.
pairing suggestions
With seasoned raw ham, with baked asparagus au gratin,
with herbal first courses, with herb-flavored baked crustaceans
(thyme, oregano, marjoram) and with baked or grilled white meats.
