12.5° Grape: 75% Vermentino, Trebbiano 10%, Albarola 10%, Malvasia 5%

From 1989 no fertilisers were used in this vineyard , no irrigation and no weeding apart from occasional trimming of grasses. The harvest and vinification are carried out manually to ensure human input to calibrate the quality. The grapes are soft-pressed, fermented on their own yeasts and then refined 6 month in oak barrels and a further 3 months in bottle.

This extraordinary wine is a deep gold colour with beautiful copper notes and sparkles with liveliness. Intense and persistent it is characterised by pineapple and dried apricot, with traces of peach, loquats, vanilla and hints of liquorice. A light almond note on the finish is conquered by buttery softness
