Harvest |
End of September / beginning of October. |
Vinification |
The vinification processes are aimed at highlighting the freshness, floral qualities, fruitiness and mineral hints that are typical of the grape variety and of the zone of origin . Consequently , the must is cold-macerated , pressing is soft and fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of between 16 and 18 °C. |
Ageing |
In stainless steel with a further period of bottleageing before release. |
Pairing |
Ideal as aperitif. In its zone of origin it has always been served with the local cuisine based on fish from the lake. However, it is also perfect with salt-water fish, both in less complex dishes (light or raw hors d’oeuvres) and in more elaborate recipes, thanks to the wine’s excellent structure. It also goes extremely well with cold cuts. It is excellent with sushi and with oriental dishes, even when they are particularly spicy. |
