THE WINEMAKING

The manual harvest takes place when the grapes are not full ripe and once in the cellar only the selected ones are wine made. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature. The wine is then bottled with selected yeasts for the second fermentation. At this point the poem is triggered because the bottles rest in stainless steel cages at the bottom of the sea; at 60 meters and at a constant temperature of 15 °. The bottles remain there for 18 months.

THE TASTING

Intense straw yellow with a fine and persistent perlage. The aroma is intense with a large bouquet that varies between musky and brackish. Dry on the palate, long and with a marked minerality.

FOOD PAIRINGS
