Production Details Hand-harvested fruit from vines stated to be 33–59 years old; alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels; approximately one year of barrel maturation with gentle lees stirring, followed by two months in tank for harmonization. The page is internally inconsistent about new oak, reporting both 10% and 15%, so no canonical new-oak percentage is proposed. Serving guidance also conflicts: XtraWine gives 12–14°C, while Chais d’œuvre recommends around 11°C.
Tasting Notes Bright and crisp, with lively acidity, green citrus, pear, peach, a mineral or iodine-like note, and a fresh finish
Food Pairing Fish, shellfish, pasta, starters and soft cheeses
