| Grape Variety |
Chardonnay. |
| Soil Type |
Of volcanic origins rich in potassium, phosphorous
and other micro elements. Though well draining, this
type of soil retains sufficient moisture to sustain
the vine even in times of drought. The high concentration
of minerals in the soil favours the production of top
quality fruit. |
| Vineyards |
These are situated on the hills in the Castelli Romani
area to the South of Rome. |
| Vinification |
After destemming, the whole berries are cold macerated
for 48/72 hours and then the very soft pressing of the
pomace is followed by a slow, cool temperature- controlled
fermentation. The wine is left in stinless steel vats
to mature for a few months before bottling. |
| Tasting Notes |
Bright pale straw colour with a light greenish hue.
Quite aromatic and fruity on the nose. Dry and fresh
on the palate, it has a persistent apple and tropical
fruit-like aroma with lightly mineral overtones. |
| Serving |
It is ideal to be served lightly chilled as an aperitif
or with grilled vegetables. Crostini, bruschette, all
pasta and rice dishes. Ideal with white meats and fish.
