A pale bubblegum hue from the pink-skinned Moschofilero grape. Superb aromatics leap out, a frenzy of wild herbs, orange blossoms and lemon juice. Slightly rich on the palate with a high acid jolt down the middle. Very lively, alert style and a final note of rose petals. Modern vinification with cold-soak for a few hours at 10°C preceding fermentation. One third of the must is put into stainless steel tanks, another fraction into amphorae and the rest into large oak tanks (known also as 'foudres') where the fermentation is carried out and completed. The wine stays in contact with its fine lees for about 4 months of aging.
