Cantica

Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Riserva

Cantica è il canto più puro della Vernaccia, una voce che nasce dal silenzio delle colline e matura nel tempo come una melodia antica. Da uve selezionate e da unʼattesa paziente prende forma una Riserva DOCG di rara armonia: complessa, luminosa, essenziale. Ogni sorso è una nota che racconta la grazia della terra e lʼarte di saperla ascoltare.

HARVEST

Harvesting of perfectly healthy grapes in the second and third ten days of September, hand-picked in small crates containing about 15 kg of grapes.

VINIFICATION

Gentle pressing of whole grapes exclusively from the single-variety Vernaccia di San Gimignano; fermentation of the free-run must for 40 days in natural cement tanks. Aged for 10 months in cement and steel tanks, followed by 1 year in bottle.

ORGANOLEPTIC EXAMINATION

White wine with a straw-yellow color.
Delicate floral aromas of wildflowers, English rose, peony, citrus, and a tropical touch, with a balsamic hint of mint and chalk.
On the palate, it is spicy and flavorful with notes of hawthorn and Reinette apple, bursting with sapidity and the fullness of lychee, anise, and absinthe that extend the finish in a crescendo of salt and grapefruit.
