| Climate |
The microclimate is cool, with striking contrasts between day and night time temperatures. Altitude: approx. 400-550 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition |
A very dry site, medium-structure morainic soils with a sand and gravel composition. |
| Vinification |
Grapes are pressed without being destemmed; fermentation takes place in a combination of new and used oak barriques, where partially malolactic fermentation also takes place. |
| Ageing |
The wine refines on its fine lees for 10 months, and regular battonage is carried out. Further 6 months of bottle-ageing before release. |
| Pairing |
This full-bodied wine is perfect on its own, but an incredible complement to rich fish dishes such as poached skate with mint cream sauce, Dover sole, Cicatelli pasta with fresh crab, stirfried scallops with ginger and the perfect partner to chicken and veal. |
