Terroir

Penon sis situated above Magrè, between 500 and 600 metres above sea level, with exposure to the east/south-east. The soil consists exclusively of limestone gravel with a high percentage of humus.

Climate

The Mediterranean climate, along with cool winds known as Venti di Caduta, allows for a longer period of growth and a late harvest in mid-October.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. Afterwards, the clarified must is fermented at a low temperature for around three weeks in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is aged on the lees for a further seven months, in 30 hl oak barrels.

Colour

Straw yellow, with a beautiful depth of colour

Nose

Fresh notes of Golden Delicious apple and kiwi, with hints of aromatic herbs and hawthorn in the finish

Palate

Close-knit, with excellent crispness and tanginess, and supporting acidity that caresses the mouth
