The grapes are harvested when perfectly ripe (2nd ten days of September).
Soft pressing with separation of the must from the skins, slow fermentation at a low temperature (18°C).
The fermented must is subsequently separated from the rough lees and stored until mid-February in steel tanks, in contact with the “fine lees”, which are removed on a weekly basis (batonage).
The wine is bottled in the first ten days of March.
SENSORIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PAIRINGS
The wine has a very characteristic aroma of pear flesh and ripe grapefruit.
The palate is harmonious with balanced acidity that makes it ideal for pairing with fish.
Good cellar life.
