WINEMAKING equals The grapes are partially dried on the vines before the harvest, this operation takes place 2 – 3 weeks before hand picking and concentrates the sugars within the grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperature controlled between 15 – 17 Degrees C for 15 days. Before the end of the alcoholic fermentation a part of the must is transferred in barrique of second use in order to finish the fermentation and the Malolactic fermentation is also allowed (it is instead avoided for the remaining fermented must that stays in steel tanks by lowering the temperature). The 2 wines are then assembled and transferred in steel tanks where they remain in contact with their lees for approximately 2 months. COLOUR equals Straw yellow with a tinge of green. BOUQUET equals Perfumes of chamomile, tropical fruits and hints of toasting. FLAVOUR equals Balanced on the palate, with an almond aftertaste which is characteristic of the Garganega variety.
