Food Matching Note:
This wine is made by a fish addict so it is not surprising that it goes extremely well with firm fleshed fish and fritto misto. However, its herby character also makes it the classic accompaniment to Liguria's most famous export - Pesto.
Tasting Note:
Pale straw yellow in the glass, with a fine bouquet of meadow flowers and aromatic herbs, particularly rosemary and thyme, and a background hint of stone fruits. On the palate it is dry and mineral, with a long finish and extremely elegant balance of alcohol, extract and acidity.
Vinification Note:
The Vermentino grapes are farmed on dry stone wall terraces on the Ligurian hillsides with minimal mechanisation. At the winery the grapes are rested with a 24 hour period of cold maceration prior to pneumatic pressing, clarification, filtration, fermentation on natural yeasts at around 18-20C, cold stabilisation, filtration and bottling.
