Clones from our own mother plants

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.
Almost “marine” impact due to notes of aromatic herbs such as rosemary and oregano, fading into fruity hints of citrus, pear, and white peach.
The finish recalls mineral and floral sensations.
On the palate it reveals freshness and a lively, stimulating taste response, with a salty undertone accompanying an enveloping sip.
