Terroir: vineyards are planted on the Flysch of Cormòns (ponca), a mineral-rich mix of sandstone and marl with excellent drainage. The gentle Collio hills offer ideal sun exposure and ventilation, promoting slow ripening and contributing to the wine’s elegance and complexity.
Vinification: de-stemmed grapes are macerated for a long time in cooled pneumatic presses, to extract from the skin the antioxidants.
Ageing: 6-7 months on the fine lees in large, oval-shaped oak barrels.
Tasting notes: Colour: golden yellow with copperish tinges and greyish shades. Aroma: fruity, candy, banana and ripe acacia honey. Taste: soft and velvety, full, hazelnut, dry and gentle on the palate.
Temperature of service: served at 9-11° in summer, 12-14° in winter, in a high-stemmed glass, just-bloomed tulip-shaped glass.
Food Paring: Fish starters, cold cuts, prosciutto, culatello, gnocchi with butter or ragu sauce, risotto alla Milanese and risotto with herbs, fried and grilled fish, white and boiled meats.
