Tasting note
Spicy white from northern Italy, fragrant with vanilla, creamy and appealing, with a mouth-watering citrus hit on the palate and a faint, refreshing breath of menthol.
Viticulture
Capitel Croce vineyard, 2.5 ha on Zoppega hills by Monteforte D'Alpone. South-facing slopes, volcanic rocky soil ensures drainage. Low yields via dense planting (5,000-6,000/ha), Guyot training, and green harvesting.
Vinification
This 100% Garganega varietal is aged in used Allier barriques for 8 months.
Food Match
The elegant concentration of this wine makes it an ideal choice to partner flavoursome fish, poultry, goats cheese and green salads.
