PRODUCTION AREA: Tenute Coste in the municipality of Lacco Ameno, in the north-west of the island of Ischia
VARIETY OF GRAPES: 50% Biancolella 50% Fiano
VINIFICATION: Harvested at the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and softly pressed. The free run must thus obtained, clear and intact, is statically decanted at a temperature of about 8-10 degrees. After decanting, the must is subjected to slow fermentation in steel tanks in a strictly controlled oxytemperature (12 ° C) for about 15 days. The aging continues in steel with frequent battonage at a scalar frequency, in order to obtain a complex, structured and delicately scented wine. We will wait until February for bottling.
COLOR: Bright straw yellow, with elegant greenish reflections.
SMELL AND TASTE NOTES: Wine of great texture, with a refined and elegant scent of small pastries and acacia flowers, mixed with lively and fresh notes of fruit and white flowers. On the palate it enters delicate and full, but agile and savory at the same time. A wine with a great personality that recalls the typical characteristics of its grape varieties of origin: the light almond of Biancolella and the fresh sensations of Fiano.
