2019 VINTAGE
The season started late due to a very long winter. A rainy April and low-temperature May ensured a more traditional progression. The heat of June and early July, combined with soil moisture, fostered strong vegetative growth. August was mild with sporadic rainfall. The harvest began fairly quickly
with healthy grapes, slightly higher-than-average acidity levels, and, for the red grapes, high levels of anthocyanins and an excellent polyphenolic profile.

TASTING NOTES
COLOR: Light straw yellow. Fine and persistent perlage.
NOSE: Broad, complex, and deep, with hints of lime blossom, honey, ripe white fruit, citrus, and bread crust.
PALATE: Complex, multifaceted, full-bodied, elegant, and intense, with a vibrant structure and a long, mineral finish. Special nose-palate affinity.

VINIFICATION
The bunches are hand-selected on a vibrating table and pressed in an inert environment (nitrogen) with a yield of 45% free-run must.
The entire process is carried out without the use of augers to treat the grapes as gently as possible. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and aged on the lees for 6 months with bâtonnage.

FERMENTATION
This is carried out according to the traditional method of bottle fermentation, with aging on the lees for at least 72 months and late disgorgement. We proudly avoid any liqueur d’expédition, making zero as a pas dosé.

PAIRINGS
Excellent as an aperitif, recommended with shellfish and fine dining.
