THE WINE
Our Bolgheri Vermentino was created to interpret the territory through one of the most representative white grape varieties of the Tuscan Coast.
The grapes come from the vineyards of Ferruggini and Sondraie, where the Mediterranean climate and the composition of the soils contribute to developing an elegant, distinctive aromatic profile.
A particular winemaking approach, in which a portion of the grapes ferments and remains in extended contact with the skins, allows us to obtain a wine with greater structure and complexity.
Ageing on the lees completes the process, enhancing softness and balance without sacrificing freshness.
A Bolgheri Vermentino that goes beyond simple immediacy, expressing depth, elegance and a pleasantly lingering finish.

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Winemaking
60% of the grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C for approximately 15 days.
The remaining 40% ferments in contact with the skins for 15 days, followed by a further 2 months of skin maceration.
This process contributes to the wine's structure, complexity and aromatic depth.
Ageing
The wine matures for 5 months in stainless steel tanks, with extended contact with the fermentation lees.
This ageing process completes the wine's profile, enhancing its softness and balance.
