Food Matching Note
:
|
|
Excellent as an aperitif and perfect to pair with antipasti, a selection of cold meats or tapas. Will compliment oily fish admirably and can be drunk with full flavoured white meats.

Tasting Note
:
|
|
Attractively golden in the glass with some hints of green around the edges. The palate is inviting, exotic and generous, displaying aromatic tropical fruits and hints of minerals. Medium bodied and dry with balancing acidity keeping the tropical fruits clean and refreshing, finishes dry, textured and crisp.

Vinification Note
:
|
|
The vineyards are situated between 200 and 250 metres a.s.l. around the town of Menfi. The vines are planted with a density of 4200 - 4500 per hectare and yield around 80 hectolitres per hectare. Harvest is manual between the 10th and 25th of August and the grapes are immediately cooled in contact with the skins to around 5 and 8°c for a short period of maceration. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of between 15 and 18°c for 15 days. Bottled in February of the year following vintage with no oak contact.
