Grape variety

Sauvignon 100%

Harvest

Product of 100% Sauvignon grapes with a limited yield of 60 quintals per hectare. Ripening is constantly monitored through sensory analysis of the grapes to detect perfect aromatic, chromatic and polysaccharide maturity. The harvest takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the grapes and avoid thermal oxidation of the typical aromas of the vine in 10 kilogram boxes, in the period that varies from the first to the second ten days of September.

Winemaking

The whole grapes undergo soft pressing without the addition of sulphites, static clarification of the must using the cold, fermentation at a controlled temperature for four weeks, aging on the fine lees throughout the winter. The daily and prolonged battonage allows the wine to have a notable natural oxidizing power which preserves the freshness and integrity of the typical bouquet of the vine, allowing the use of sulphites to be limited.

Ageing

On fine lees throughout the winter with daily stirring.

Service temperature

10° – 12° C

The Vineyard

Our vineyards lie on the hills of a splendid valley, 30 km from the sea: Colle Monteverde. The soil, situated at 310 meters above sea level and facing North-Northeast, is predominantly loose, mineral-rich, with a sandy texture: characteristics that enhance the organoleptic notes of our wine.
The vine training system is unilateral Guyot, with eco-friendly management and phytosanitary defense using natural biostimulants. Canopy management is done by hand without invasive mechanization, selecting only the highest quality grape clusters. Soil management includes natural cover cropping, under-vine cultivation, and manual harvesting in 10 kg crates to preserve grape quality.

Color, Aroma and Flavor: the tasting notes

On the nose

The intense and complex aroma of grapefruit, gooseberries, plums, tomato leaves and boxwood.

On the Palate

On the palate a beautiful vibrant dynamic, full and enveloping taste, with a beautiful retronasal 'return' of fresh fruit. Savory and persistent finish.

The pairing

Starters, first courses. Ideal with fish.
