TASTING NOTES

Colour

Straw green

AROMA

A full nose of tropical fruits backed with citrus, reminiscent of pear, passion fruit, and lemon zest blended with a touch of white pepper.

PALATE

This smoothly textured medium to full bodied white exacerbates limoncello, fine minerality, and a clean citrus flavor that lingers on and excites the taste buds.

Winemaking Details

The year 2016 was atypical in terms of climate. The unusually hot and rainy winter caused an early bud break. It was followed by a cold spring with abnormally high levels of rain, which delayed the arrival of the veraison. The intense spring rain brought preoccupations in mildew, which ended up reducing the quantity of grapes the vines produced. The summer was hot and dry, which demanded extra effort from the vines to finish the maturation. It was a difficult year in the viticultural point of view The hand picked grapes were brought to the winery and sorted during the second and third weeks of September. The juice of the delicately crushed and pressed berries was fermented with temperature control up to 18ªC. After fermentation we aged it for two month on the lees. Bottled in February 2017.
