Features & Pairings suggestions
Vinification The grapes are harvested by hand, then they are pressed and the Must is clarified. The slow fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, at controlled temperature (less than 20°C) to preserve at best the floral aromas of the grape and the fruity aromas that develop during the process. After 10-15 days all the sugars are converted into alcohol, then the wine is left on fine lees for a short time and then decanted. |
|
Ageing The wine is stored in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. Follows the refinement in the bottle for at least 2 months, before being released for consumption. |
