Origin |
Village of Sala, Town of Ficulle (Terni). |
Harvest |
By hand, between late August and mid-September for the Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes. The grapes were healthy, ripe with good freshness and an excellent aromatic profile with a good balance in sugar concentration. |
Ageing |
Once in the winery, the grapes were chilled by lowering the temperature before pressing, preserving the characteristic varietal aromas. After soft pressing, the musts, kept for a few hours at 10°C to allow natural clarification, were transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation occurred at a temperature not exceeding 16°C. Once this was completed, the wine was stored at about 10°C to prevent malolactic fermentation and preserve its organoleptic characteristics. The two varieties were finally blended. |
