An expanding estate with a balanced line of production that has been on the rise for some years now. Made from Vernaccia from the Montagnana vineyards. The wine sits on the lees for at least 10 months with 10% maturing in barriques. A bold but not bright straw color and a complex aroma with a light almond note and a little spice that does not interfere with those of yellow fruit, medlar, peach and lychees. The mouthfeel is thick but not sweet thanks to a nice salinity and light and captivating tannins that uphold the flavor without compromising it. The finish has a nice persistence.
