Tasting note

Rich, concentrated Verdicchio, juicy with golden apples, dry yet honeyed, perfumed with nuts and Mediterranean herbs, with a finishing flourish of bitter almond.

Viticulture

From the highest south-facing vineyards, cool nights and sunny days allow grapes to remain on the vine longer, encouraging gentle over-ripening and the development of noble rot. This 100% Verdicchio gains exceptional concentration, richness and distinctive aromatic complexity.

Vinification

Grapes are gently destemmed to preserve whole berries, then cold-macerated in the press for 10-12 hours to extract maximum aroma from the skins. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks at 18-20°C. The wine is aged on its lees for 5-6 months, followed by at least 8 months of bottle ageing, adding depth and complexity.

Food Match

Ideal with flavoursome fish dishes and sushi. Also excellent with traditional cold white meat dishes, especially veal in tuna sauce.
