Production Details Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness. Berries were selected repeatedly—on the vine and again in the cellar—then plucked by hand from their stems until only individual raisins remained. These were milled, macerated with their skins, gently pressed and spontaneously fermented in a small vessel whose material is not specified.
Tasting Notes Golden color; precise, fresh and concentrated lemon-scented bouquet with ripe stone-fruit and fine raisin aromas; intense and fresh palate with saline structure, notable finesse, piquancy and persistent salinity
Food Pairing Desserts, including creamy tiramisu, cream cakes and fresh strawberries
