Vintage
The year 2021 was marked by temperatures above seasonal average. Rainy winter; very dry spring and summer. Although the beginning of summer was scorching, the cooler weather from early August onwards had a positive effect on the vegetative cycle of the vines, which allowed the grapes to ripen well.
Harvest
The grapes were hand-picked on 30 August 2021 and transported to the winery in 4 kg crates by refrigerated lorry.
Vinification and Ageing
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to obtain a free-run must which, after static settling, starts to ferment at a controlled temperature of 16-18 °C.
Once the fermenting must has reached a few degrees of alcohol, around 3% vol, it is transferred to elegantly toasted, fine-grained oak barriques, where fermentation is completed. Once the alcoholic fermentation process has been completed in oak barrels, the wine continues to age, resting on its yeast lysate in barriques for a few months to ensure that it is smooth and supple on the palate.
Tasting Notes & pairings
Straw yellow colour with greenish tinges.
Floral aromas prevail on the nose, with an intense bouquet of tropical fruit and Sicilian citrus fruits, followed by light notes of vanilla.
Rich, velvety, well-structured and pleasantly tangy on the palate.
It is ideal with fish and shellfish starters and fish and vegetable-based first courses, as well as with grilled red tuna and crustaceans.
