VINIFICATION

The grapes are harvested at night or at the first light of dawn to preserve the principal aromas of the fruit in cool temperatures. After being subjected to cold-soaking, the grapes are gently pressed and the must obtained are transferred to steel vats for the process of alcoholic fermentation. Subsequently the wine is left “on the yeasts” for about three months before being bottled.

WINE

Straw-yellow color with pale green glints. The bouquet produces floral scents which alternate with fruity notes recalling in particular the Golden Delicious apple. On the palate the taste is flavorsome with fresh and mellow qualities coordinating in harmony.

MATCHES

Excellent as an aperitif, with starters and fish dishes in general, pungent cheeses should be avoided. Serve cool at a temperature of around 10-12°C.
