Tasting Notes
The wine shows a pale straw-yellow color with greenish tinges. On the nose, it is fresh and persistent, with hints of green apple, apricot, lime, and almonds. On the palate, it is dry and mineral.
Cultivation
Hand-harvested, starting in early September
Vinification
After destemming and cooling to 10–12°C, the grapes undergo 10–12 hours of cold maceration, followed by soft pressing at 1 atm and 12 hours of natural decantation. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 15–16°C with selected yeast inoculation over 15–16 days.
Aging
Aged for 2-3 months on the lees in stainless steel.
