100% Pinot Blanc. And not just any grapes. Only those from the southern slopes of the Monzoccolo, in the Terlano DOC area. Here, at an altitude of between 450 and 650 metres above sea level, there are sunny, steep vineyards where a Pinot Bianco is grown that the winery's winemaker describes as nothing less than "exciting". The grapes are harvested and selected by hand, and immediately afterwards a gentle whole cluster crushing and destemming by natural sedimentation takes place. This is followed by a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in large oak casks, malolactic fermentation and a long period of refinement lasting about 12 months on the fine lees in traditional wooden barrels. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful, bright straw-yellow colour, still streaked with greenish reflections. On the nose, a very varied and multifaceted bouquet, with ripe fruit notes of melon, white peach, pear or delicious apple, but also with aromas of quince jelly, chamomile and pineapple. On top of this, there are mineral notes of flint. In the mouth, the structure is compact, with an elegant creaminess that blends into a very aromatic, persistent and distinctly mineral aftertaste. A complex and elegant wine, it is simply ideal with a classic spicy fish soup, but also with mussel soup or spaghetti allo scoglio.
