Maixei Riviera Ligure Ponente Vermentino 2020
Although made from a grape grown widely in an area covering Tuscany, Provence, Sardinia and Corsica, the wine has a distinctively Ligurian character. The label features Castle Doria in green, like the green tinges of the wine, emphasised by a white line that is a stylised image of the humpback bridge, on a white background. It encapsulates Dolceacqua.

Colour

Medium straw yellow with light green tinges.

Bouquet

It has an intense aroma with distinct citrussy notes, in particular grapefruit. With ageing, it develops floral notes, which can be very evident, acquiring sweetness and an almost vanilla-like aroma.

Flavour

It is an elegant dry wine with a fresh taste and good balance.

Pairing

It matches very well with fish dishes which exalt the freshness and the quality of the ingredients.

Harvest The hand-harvested grapes are delivered by the members of the cooperative just a few hours after the grape harvest.
Vinification The grapes are soft pressed with extreme delicacy to avoid damaging the skins. Before the classic white winemaking process begins, some of the grapes are macerated with CO2 snow for a few hours to accentuate the typical character and style of the wine. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (16-18°C) in stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is prevented to preserve the freshness of the wine.
Ageing After a brief period of ageing in steel vats, the wine is bottled in the spring following the vintage.
