Further description
This white wine is produced from a careful selection of the noble grape varieties from this Region, which are carefully vinified and then fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. A part of the lot is vinified using the skin maceration technique which emphasises the aromatic complexity of the wine. The wine obtained, citrine in colour with an accentuated varietal aroma, has a limited production in order to guarantee, year after year, an invariable standard of excellence.
