Category: White Wines

Color: Straw yellow with bright greenish hues at bottling. Light golden notes develope as wine matures.

Bouquet: It evokes grapes, Mediterranean scrub, golden apple, white peach, yellow flowers such as Spanish Broom flowers and other wild flowers. It is a wine that stands out for its intense personality.

Taste: Intense, soft and enveloping, enlivened by a dynamic fresh-savoury note that provides balance and elegance; it persists for a long time in the mouth with interesting salty hints.

Serving temperature: 8° – 10° C

Pairing suggestions: First courses with mussels, shellfish and fish in general. Lobster with tomatoes, onions and evoo. Extremely good with any type of fish cooked in any style. Great with vegetable soups flavoured with fruity evoo. An excellent pairing with the most traditional dish in Berchidda: “Zuppa Berchiddese”. Goes extremely well with most Asian food. Fresh and soft goat and cow cheeses.

Harvest, winemaking, aging and refinement: Harvest is done manually at the beginning of September, usually the first week. Harvested grapes (the whole bunches) are left to rest in a cold room (temperature around 0 °C) for 24-48 hours. After destemming, the must remains at 0° C for further 48-72 hours (skin maceration) followed by soft pressing. This long cycle, which takes about a week compared to the two hours of a traditional winemaking, is meant to preserve the fragrance and the aromas of the original fruit. Must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine is left in contact with its fine lees for several months before being bottled.
