Tecnologia produttiva

Harvesting period: Malvasia Bianca and wild Moscatello at the beginning of September with subsequent drying on racks for 7 – 10 days. Falanghina and Chardonnay are harvested in the second ten days of September.

Winemaking technique

At the end of the light drying process, the Moscatello and Malvasia are worked together with the Falanghina and the Chardonnay which are instead harvested manually and pressed without drying.

The must obtained from the soft pressing of the grapes is separated from the skins. Once decanted at a temperature of 10°C for 48 hours, it is tapped and fermented in stainless steel at a temperature of 14°C for approximately 20 days. 60% of the must ferments exclusively in steel while the remaining part is decanted into French oak tonneaux halfway through fermentation.

Aging Aging on fine lees 40% in tonneaux and 60% in stainless steel for at least eighteen months.

Aging in bottle: at least six months.

Organoleptic characteristics

Colour: straw yellow with golden reflections.
Aroma: floral hints of chamomile and jasmine accompanied by sensations of tropical fruit and candied citrus peel.
Taste: quite rich with a good acidity and a savoury finish that gives the wine pleasantness.
