Grape Variety:
100% Vermentino
Vineyards:
The grapes come from vines aged between 7 and 30 years, managed organically
and treated only with copper and sulfur, and fertilized with stable manure. The
soils, predominantly clayey and rich in quartz, are located 200 meters above
sea level and 10 kilometers from the coast, in a unique and pristine terroir,
characterized by significant temperature variations between day and night.
Training:
Espalier, spurred cordon, with 3,300 - 5,600 vines/hectare.
Harvest:
Once fully ripe, the grapes are selected and harvested by hand and
placed in 18-kg crates. Harvest begins in the first ten days of
September, exclusively in the early morning hours, to ensure a low
temperature of the grapes upon arrival at the cellar.
Vinification:
Before pressing, the grapes are placed in a refrigerated cell overnight to
enhance the extraction of aromas and prevent oxidation. The grapes are then gently
pressed and destemmed, followed by decanting for 36-48 hours. The grapes
are fermented without contact with the skins in stainless steel at a
controlled temperature of 16°C. This is followed by cold stabilization.
This is a vegan wine. All the energy used during the production process
comes from renewable sources.
Wine:
A greenish-yellow color, clear and with good consistency. On the nose, it is
decisive and full-bodied. The classic aromas of
Vermentino are intense and persistent, including floral, vegetal, and herbaceous notes.
Overall, it is a wine with delicate and fine aromas. On the palate, the acidity is extraordinary,
supported by a good smoothness,
leaving a balanced finish. Noteworthy is the delicate sapidity and minerality
that envelop the palate on the finish.
