Viticulture
The vineyard is located in Girlan, on calcareous and red soils at 450m above sea level. A very dry site, with medium-structure morainal soils with a sand and gravel composition; the microclimate is cool, with striking contrasts between day and night time temperatures.Harvest takes place in mid-September.
Vinification
Grapes are pressed without being destemmed; fermentation takes place in a combination of new and used oak barriques, where partial malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine sits its fine lees for 10 months, undergoing regular battonage, followed by a further six months of bottle ageing before release.
Food Match
It is excellent enjoyed on its own, or with Italian pasta dishes, grilled fish, chicken and veal. Serve lightly chilled - around 12° C.
