Our passion

Static decanting of the must and first racking to clarify the juice follows followed by alcoholic fermentation at 13°C temperature for about 3 weeks. At the end of fermentation, the wine is racked to separate the heavier lees and kept on its lees called “fine or noble” where, with weekly stirring, it will remain for 4 months to give the wine softness and stability. Then the wine is racked and bottled. The whole process is done in compliance with the inherent Organic regulations even if not stated on the label ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: VISUAL – straw yellow color with hints of green OLFACTS – opens on the nose with a good exotic, fresh and crisp aromatic charge, hints of fig, tomato leaf and a very slightly ripe clementine, slightly floral jasmine.
