Vine training
Mature bush vines, espalier (Guyot and spurred cordon).
Grape yield per hectare
30/40 quintals.
Vinification
Traditional, off the skins, with soft pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature.
Ageing
Antico Gregori is produced only in the best vintages of Vernaccia, those considered excellent. The 1991 vintage, following a very long oxidative refinement of about 33 years, was then completed with the addition of small quantities of very old Vernaccia, whose base dates back to the first decades of the last century; among these the main one is the 1975 vintage.
Colour
Bright amber with reflections of antique gold.
Serving temperature
Serve at 16-18 in a large glass.
Tasting Notes
Enveloping and warm, surprising freshness and flavour in wonderful balance, supported by a very long finish, excellent harmony of aroma and taste.
Aroma
Nose of great breadth and complexity, deep notes of hazelnuts and honey, walnut husk and custard. Closing with touches of salted peanut and fig.
Pairings
Excellent with cured mullet roe dishes, try with bottarino cheese with spicy fig jam. A wonderful wine to simply savour on its own, accompanied by great conversation.
Harvesting
Mid-October.
