Bright straw yellow colour with light greenish hues. Layered nose, hints of butter, toast and juicy yellow, ripe fruit. Rounded, firm body with mild acidity, salty and noble on the finish.

Fermentation of 70% of the must takes place in new and used oak barrels, with a capacity of 225 l and 500 l. The remaining 30% of the must ferments in stainless steel containers for 4 weeks. Partial malolactic fermentation, under strict temperature control.
Ageing
Ageing of the wine in oak barrels and in stainless steel tanks, on fine lees for a period of 4-6 months, with periodic battonage. About 6 months of additional ageing in bottle before the wine is released on the market.
