An excellent expression of Ansonica, this wine spotlights the special characteristics of the grape variety.

Tasting Notes
The intense, elegant aromas range from fruity (apples) to floral (acacia) and more complex scents of a salty or mineral (flint) cast. A structured, mouth-filling flavour that is fresh and sapid. Lingering finish.

Matching
Fish, white meat in sauce, souffle'. Ideal with porcini mushrooms.

Winemaking Notes
Ansonica 100% (also known as Inzolia)
A soft pressing in pneumatic presses is followed an 8 hour maceration at 5ºC and a controlled temperature fermentation. About 15% is fermented in barriques. There is an almost 100% malolactic fermentation.
It aged for 4 months in bottle before release.
