Intense yellow colour with golden nuances. Delicately floral with peach, honey-melon and exotic fruit aromas. Good creamy structure on the palate, balanced by a pleasant citrus freshness and saline and salty notes that give a good length and minerality to the wine.
Viticulture
The 2022 vintage will be remembered as one of the driest and hottest of recent memory. Luckily some late rain showers saved the grapes from unbalanced ripeness and quantity loss, as we experienced in another recent hot vintage that was 2017. Thanks
to our recent experience with warm vintages, very labour-intensive agricultural methods and careful work during the fermentation process we are really satisfied with the final results! We started to pick the first grapes in Maremma during the last week of August and finished in Chianti on the 5th of October. The perfectly ripe and healthy Vermentino grapes were picked on the 26th of August.
Vinification
70 hl stainless steel tanks, short maceration on the skins, 6 months in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation.
Recommendation
Delicious served with antipasti or grilled fish/seafood dishes.
