Vinification and Aging

• Fermentation: The wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, fruity character.
• Maceration: A brief maceration on the skins helps to extract additional aromas and complexity, without over-extracting tannins.
• Aging: The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for a few months, which helps to maintain its crisp and fresh profile while allowing the flavors to integrate.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish tinges, indicative of its youthful vibrancy.
• Aroma: The nose is fresh and aromatic, with notes of citrus fruits like lemon and green apple, alongside floral hints of white flowers and a touch of minerality. There are also subtle herbal nuances, adding depth and complexity.
• Palate: The palate is lively and crisp, with refreshing acidity that provides balance to the fruit-forward profile. Flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus fruits dominate, with a light, mineral edge that complements the fruit. The texture is clean and smooth, making it an easy-drinking wine.
• Finish: The finish is fresh and clean, with lingering citrus and floral notes that invite another sip.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, seafood dishes, or vegetable-based pasta. It’s also an excellent match for fresh cheeses, salads, or grilled vegetables, where its crisp acidity complements the freshness of the ingredients.

Serving Recommendations

• Serving Temperature: Serve chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its freshness and aromatic profile.
• Decanting: No decanting is necessary for this youthful wine; simply pour and enjoy.

Aging Potential

Given its fresh and vibrant profile, this wine is best enjoyed in its youth to capture the crispness and fruit character. While it can be consumed within the first 2–3 years, it may evolve slightly with additional aging.
