Winemaking
After rigorous selection, the clusters are
subjected to a natural drying process on
mats, until January-February of the following
year. They are then de-stemmed and pressed,
and the must is transferred to sealed, 100 lt
aok casks containing the “mother”, a thick
substance remaining from previous vintages.
Aging
After 7 years in the “vinsantaia” loft area,
the wine is bottle aged for a minimum of 6
months.
Nose
Peach, apricot, pineapple and tropical dried
fruit aromas.
Palate
Consistency on the palate,
softness and elegance nicely structured by
the oak barrels. Wine with great balance,
favorable acidity and a well-harmonized
residual sugar. Long in the mouth.
Appearance
Golden yellow, with coppery highlights.
