VINIFICATION

Once collocated in the presses the grapes are very gently pressed. The process for making white wine is started, separating immediately the grape-skins from the must, in steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Following this the wine is left “on the yeasts” for about three months in steel vats, to then be bottled and shelved for another two months.

WINE

Straw-yellow color with golden tints. The bouquet is generous and pronounced with delicate aromas of pear. On the palate the flavor is resolute and harmonious, full-bodied and with an appreciable level of sapidity.

MATCHES

Pleasant to serve as an aperitif, it is a good partner for first courses based on fish and second courses of white meat. Excellent with pasta and clam sauce, seafood risottos, chicken suprême, rabbit stew with olives.
