Vine training
Mature bush vines, espalier (Guyot and spurred cordon).
Grape yield per hectare
40/50 quintals.
Vinification
Traditional, off the skins, with soft pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature.
Ageing
Maturation in oak and chestnut for about four years. The barrels are not completely filled to allow the development of the characteristic veil of “Flor” yeast, which generates the unmistakable perfume of Vernaccia di Oristano.
Colour
Bright ochre with gold reflections.
Serving temperature
From 10°C for an aperitif to 15°C with desserts.
Tasting Notes
Warm and decisive on the palate, gentle, with freshness and flavour in a persuasive finish.
Aroma
Great intensity and complexity, apricot and bitter orange come together in a finish of flowering almond and honey.
Pairings
An excellent aperitif when served chilled at 8-10°C which goes perfectly with cured mullet roe dishes. At 15°C pairs well with almond-based pastries.
Harvesting
Mid-October.
