Winemaking Process
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit's integrity. The wine is aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by 4 months of bottle aging, allowing it to develop its full character before release.
Food Pairing
This versatile white wine pairs beautifully with:
- Fresh seafood and shellfish.
- Light pasta dishes with vegetable or white sauce.
- Soft cheeses such as Brie or goat cheese.
- Appetizers and Mediterranean cuisine.
Serving Suggestions
Serve at a temperature of 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; however, allowing the wine to breathe for a few minutes can enhance its aromatic profile.
