Grape Varieties: 100% Viognier
Vinification: Manual harvest in small crates, immediate separation of the stems, long maceration with the skins in 800-liter terracotta amphorae, and subsequent aging for 5 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes: Intense straw yellow in color with golden reflections, the nose is fruity with pronounced aromas of passion fruit and tropical fruit, white peach and notes of pink grapefruit or peach in syrup, floral with notes of caper flower and rosemary honey, accompanied by a characteristic buttery note resulting from the long contact with the fine lees. On the palate, it is warm, smooth, and structured, with a pronounced citrus acidity that creates an overall good balance. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of orange zest and balsamic notes.
Pairings: Perfect with structured fish dishes, such as Livorno-style cacciucco or grilled octopus. It is also excellent with meat-based dishes such as rabbit cacciatore or duck breast à l’orange, as well as dishes featuring porcini mushrooms or blue cheeses.
