Harvest period:	Second ten days of September

Harvest method:	Manual

Vinification:	The grapes are carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. Next, the fruit is soft crushed. The must obtained is then allowed to settle. The now-clarified must ferments at controlled temperatures in small casks of French oak, where it matures for about ten months.

Ageing:	After fermentation, the wine was left on the lees in the small oak casks for about ten months. The bottled wine was aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.

Sensory characteristics:	Appearance: intense straw yellow. Nose: elegant, ample, complex, sweet fruit and spices, with an evident mineral note, aromas of pineapple, candied citrus fruits, irisis, hyacinth, aromatic herbs, walnut and a pleasant boisè. Palate: extensive, full, progressive; exotic, spicy aftertaste with mineral persistence and pleasant recalls of rosemary, cream, white chocolate and graphite.

Serving suggestions:	A particularly good match for fish, risottos and fresh cheeses.

Serving temperature:	13 - 15 °C
