Beschreibung

VINEYARDS
Close to the winery at medium elevation, in various-facing directions.
Elevation: 270 metres above sea level

GRAPE VARIETY
Sauvignon Blanc

VINIFICATION
We soft-press the grapes immediately after harvesting and separate
the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with
reducing conditions for one month at 15-16° C.
Daily bâtonnage on its fine lees.
The wine is filtered and then bottled in May and June, followed by
bottle-ageing for about 8 months.

WHEN
Crisp and very “basaricò” when young,
but exciting if you have the patience to keep it
(for up to ten years).

CLASSIC PAIRING
A good match for light soups and more substantial vegetable
potages. Fish baked in foil or tomato and mozzarella,
both drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
All are perfect companions to this wine.

VINES AND SOIL
2.5 hectares: vines of approximately 20 years of age on
Lequio formations (grey marl alternating with sand layers)

HARVEST
Hand-picked from the 10th of September

PRESENTATION
Available format: 0.75 l
Alcohol content 12%-14% by volume depending on the vintage
Straw yellow with pale green highlights.
Characteristic, complex nose: seductive, exotic fresh fruit
with varietal notes of basil.
Smooth, fresh and pleasing on the palate with a lingering finish.

HOW
Store in a dark, dry place at a constant temperature
below 20° C. Serve at between 8°-10° C in narrow-bowled,
narrow-rimmed glasses to channel aromas towards the nose,
to intensify perception and limit dispersion.

UNUSUAL PAIRING
As an aperitif with turmeric-flavoured, toasted hazelnuts,
or raw prosciutto.
With artichokes–in salad or sautéed–unexpectedly satisfying.
Sublime with gnocchi al pesto.
