Color

Grape Varieties
Aroma
A full but well integrated wine, imbued with honeydew; melon, creamy fruit salad and nutty aromas
Taste
Ample acidity with a delicate underlay of oak on the palate and a long, luscious finish.
Cellaring Potential
6-10 years.
Food Matching
This full-bodied wine is perfect on its own, but an incredible complement to rich fish dishes such as poached skate with mint cream sauce, Dover sole, Cicatelli pasta with fresh crab, stir fried scallops with ginger and the perfect partner to chicken and veal.
Serve lightly chilled: 12-14° C
Vinification
Grapes are pressed without being destemmed; fermentation takes place in a combination of new and used oak barriques, where partially malolactic fermentation also takes place.
Aging
The wine refines on its fine lees for 10 months, and regular battonage is carried out. Further 6 months of bottle-aging before release.
