VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Wine produced exclusively with the German Riesling grape variety, in a vineyard with mostly granite soil on a gentle slope. Manual harvesting with selection of the best grapes. After a slow fermentation at low temperature to maintain all the aromatic load, it aged in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and the most delicate notes, with batonnage for 5 months. The prolonged aging in the bottle for at least 12 months enhances complexity and elegance.
CONSUMPTION AND LONGEVITY
Ideal consumption temperature at 10 oC. Accompanies fresh fish dishes, seafood, sushi and sashimi, salads, white meats, grilled red meats, pastas and risottos.; Complements delicate fusion dishes. A white wine with aging potential, which gains complexity and finesse as it ages in the bottle.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Riesling is one of the most original grape varieties in the world, here in a special environment influenced by the Serra d’osso it is expressed with even more originality, with floral notes of white flowers, exotic fruit and some apricot. In the mouth it has a vibrant acidity, which gives it tension, everything in harmony. Very elegant and intense finish, with a mineral note emerging.
