This wine is pale yellow in color and has expressive aromas of white flowers, like jasmine, as well as citrus notes. In the mouth, it is fresh and mineral, with good acidity. Its complex and delicate character makes it very attractive.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked during the day time, the first week of March. A very careful, protective destemming and pressing process is carried out. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures, between 12 and 15 °C (53.6 – 59 °F), in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the primary aromas.
