Tasting notes
Pale lemon in colour. Expressive and complex on the nose, showing fresh citrus fruit aromas and elegant hints
of orange blossom. The palate reflects the essence of the region's high-altitude vineyards, showing vibrant
freshness, excellent volume and elegant texture, with notes of minerality standing out. The finish is engaging,
fresh and persistent. Serve at a temperature between 8 and 10 degrees celcius.
Vinification
The grapes, chosen from selected plots, are taken to the winery in 22 kg plastic boxes. On arrival in the winery
they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes are then destemmed and pressed. The juice is
transferred to stainless steel tanks where it remains for 48 hours at 8 C for decanting. The alcoholic
fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 14 degrees C for 30 days.
