Tasting Notes
Strong straw-yellow colour; Intense scent, typical of these vineyards, complex, fresh and delicate with features of yellow pulp and tropical fruits, apricot and date; the taste is sweet and warm, harmonic and well balanced freshness.

Food Matching
This wine gives its best with fruit, dry pastries and sweet pizzas. Try it also with traditional Italian Pandoro and Panettone cakes, semi mature or herbal flavoured cheese.  Serve cool at a temperature of 8-10°C.   

Winemaking Notes
The harvest happens during the first decade of October, hand-made grape harvesting and selection. The grapes are let to mature for a longer time on the plant to enrich in sugar and particular aromas. During the harvesting the grapes are collected in small baskets to prevent all the grains from breaking.  
Soft pressing and derasping, a few hours of crio-maceration and very slow fermenting at controlled temperature.
At reaching the right sugar residue the wine is cooled, filtered and left to rest in small termo-controlled reservoirs of steel.
The following pourings and the constant control of the temperature keep in this aromatic dry wine all the special flavour and scent of the grapes.
