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. |
