The vineyards are southwest facing and situated at altitudes of between 250 and 400m. The Piemonte low Guyot trellis system is used for the vines, which grow in a limestone-clay soil. Planting density is 4000 to 4500 vines per hectare. Grapes are hand harvested in the last week of September. Temperature controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel (16- 18ºC) and the wine spends a couple of months on lees.
Quietly complex on the nose with fresh lime notes combining with a steely minerality and gentle honeysuckle flora. The palate is mid weight and off dry with persistent flavours of lime, there is natural salinity which gives contrast yet lovely balance. It finishes clean with a lingering flinty character.Serve with oysters and shellfish, white meats and smoked salmon. Also great with Asian cuisine.Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.Also this wine is organic and biodynamic
