Description
"This aromatic and delicately textural amber wine is made from the bottom part of the vineyard, where the soils are more alluvial on a dolomite lime mother rock. Mainly Moscato Giallo with small amounts of Verdicchio and Viognier were filled into a French hogshead, partly destemmed party as whole bunches, filled with direct-pressed grape juice and locked up for 4 months. This Loire Valley technique called "flotation" works based on semi-carbonic maceration and infusion (instead of extraction). The practice leads to wines with a delicate fruit profile and gentle but definitive texture. Only the slowly 'infused" free-run juice and very gentle pressings were utilised to fill up a single barrique. Aged on fine lees for 7 months before bottling it with 30 ppm SO2." - Winemaker Notes
