Production Details The exact-2023 sources describe a brief, carefully timed maceration followed by a long, cool fermentation and maturation in stainless-steel vats. VINTUS’s live page reports a vineyard yield of 2.3 tons per acre and an average vine age of 25 years, while its linked 2023 technical sheet reports 2.1 tons per acre and 35 years; these source conflicts remain unresolved. The live page also reports environmentally sustainable pest, disease and weed control and measures intended to conserve biodiversity, water, soils and ecosystems.
Tasting Notes Clear and brilliant; expressive red fruit and citrus aromas, including raspberry and redcurrant; fruity, fine and round palate; balanced and elegant.
Food Pairing Aperitif and broadly suitable for the table with many cuisines.
