The area is among the most suited for this grape variety, thanks to a geographical context that favors intense aromas and complete ripening. The calcareous soil with clayey parts contributes to balance and depth, while vinification in steel and subsequent aging on the lees maintain a clean and crisp profile. The maturation in a mine, in total darkness and constant temperature, adds a distinctive trait that makes the wine recognizable and particularly interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched with greenish hues, a sign of a white that has also developed an evolutionary dimension. On the nose, it offers a pleasant aromatic freshness, with deep sensations well intertwined. On the palate, an elegant texture emerges, supported by defined minerality and a broader structure compared to an immediately consumable Gewürztraminer. The residual sugar is contained, while the alcohol and body provide warmth and volume without sacrificing balance. The finish is persistent and leaves a sensation of refined complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine pairs with great versatility to flavorful and aromatic dishes.
