Production notes

Selected vineyards in the communes of Tufo, Altavilla Irpina and Montefusco, in the area of Irpinia, in Italy’s Southern region of Campania. The vineyards lie at an altitude of 550 to 650 meters above sea level. Vines are approximately 15 to 20 years old. All the plants are trained using the Guyot system. Average density is 3.000 plants per hectare, with a maximum yield of 1,8 kg of grapes per plant. Manual harvest is in mid-October. The grapes are de-stemmed and delicately pressed. The must is then chilled to 10-12°C and left to rest for approximately 36 hours. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 15 to 16°C. The wine is then left on its lees in stainless steel tanks for approximately three months in order to maximize extraction of complex aromas.

Tasting notes

The wine has a lovely pale yellow color. The bouquet offers delicious aromas of almonds and honeysuckle. The palate is well-balanced, crisp, lively and complex, with a refreshing minerality and sensations of grapefruit, melon and orange zest. The finish is elegant and lingering.
