A Verdicchio that expresses the varietal's distinctive character, with meticulous vinification enhancing its freshness and minerality.

The resulting wine ages in stainless steel for approximately 3 months. The subsequent bottling takes place using sterile cold bottling with microfiltration. Once bottled, the wine ages for at least 1 month in the bottle. Ample aromas of fruit and white flowers such as hawthorn, apple, and citrus notes, with a characteristic almond finish. Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. It expresses the typical characteristics of Verdicchio, very pleasant. On the palate it is savory, harmonious, fresh and soft, with a lingering and typically almondy aftertaste that confirms the olfactory sensations.
