• Natural winemaking with a single input: a low dose of So2.
• 6-month alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
• Malolactic fermentation in barrels/mud for several years.
• Bottled with light filtration.
• Untreated corks, selected after batch tasting.

TASTING

EYE: Clear, bright pale gold.

NOSE: Gradual opening with floral and spicy notes marked by a hint of Ceylon black tea. Slight noble reduction. There’s also pear and a hint of vanilla.

PALATE: Progressive with a certain complexity that attracts. Lots of freshness, strong personality and elegance with Burgundian aromas of peach, lime blossom and limestone. The mentholated freshness of the finish is ever-present.
