Vinification: after a careful evaluation to establish the exact harvest time that reconciles the optimal values of sugars and acids, the grapes are harvested in small perforated crates weighing about 20 kg and stored overnight, until pressing in the morning subsequently, in a cold room at a temperature of 0 - 2 ° C. The vinification followed is very particular, because the concept of maceration between the skin and must is also applied to a white wine. In this way we obtain an enrichment of the wine in terms of aromas and structure, with the guarantee of excellent longevity. All the processes carried out from grape harvesting to maceration are carried out cold to avoid extracting too much coloring matter, hence the name of cryomaceration. For subsequent operations, the wine rests exclusively in steel tanks and is bottled in March.

Sensory profile: the scent is very intense and persistent, with hints of apricot and apple, with final notes of chamomile and in some years it is even spicy. In the mouth the wine is sapid, with a good structure and harmonious. It goes well with appetizers, pasta and risotto-based first courses, seafood dishes.
