Aprašymas

Wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and skin contact. Aged in steal tanks for 2 years where it naturally decants with no need of filtration. Minimum sulfur dioxide is applied and only if necessary.Gold in color. Nose combines restrained spicy and herbal notes. Searing acid, high alcohol and chalky minerality are the pillars of the wine. Aligned with a powerful, rich and vibrant mid-palate, a full-bodied structure and a long finish.Maturation in bottle is the clue. After 5 years, minerality will be more flinty and overall complexity more intense with graphite, musk and petrol notes. After 10-12 years, the wine will acquire a lacey delicacy and a silky texture.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 14-16 ºC, but not cold to access its unique personality.

Apie gamintoją

Viticulture began back in 1500, where the current land was first farmed by friars, creating a legacy which the Bottazzi family adopted and carried out through four generations. The estate was built back in 1650. It has been a monastery where priests lived for a long time. In the early 1990s the Bottazzi family uprooted almost all the 70 hectares vineyards and replanted new ones on a smaller surface in order limit production, control all processes from vine to bottle, guarantee the highest quality and be able to offer wines with both a sense of varietal and a sense of place. Through trial and error, family work every day to improve their wines.
