VINIFICATION
Slow, gentle pressing, an initial low-temperature fermentation and several months’ ageing in vats during which malolactic fermentation takes place to guarantee maximum fullness and roundness while retaining the finesse and freshness of aromas.

Golden yellow.
NEZ
Musky notes of lime and dried fruit.
FLAVOUR
Lime, dried fruit and plum aromas. It is a rich, virile wine with a lovely, dense, complex structure and discreet acidity.
