Product notes
Single-sided Pergola and Guyot training. Between 30 and 150 mt above sea level. South / South-West exposure. Igneous basalt (Volcanic) soils. Vulcaia is an interpretation of Sauvignon grapes. This, having been grown on zone’s volcanic soil, had given rise to a completely new version of the French variety, with fragrances and flavors that could hardly be traced back to its typical varietal notes. A demonstration of the fact that it the terroir and its characteristics overshadow the variety. The label features a perspective sketch by the architect Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554), taken from “La Scena Tragica” of 1545.
Production notes
On arrival at the winery, the bunches are destemmed, delicately pressed, and then stay macerating for 1-3 hours. After natural settling, the must undergoes its alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. The wine then matures until it is ready for bottling.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow in color. A nose reminiscent of grapefruit, peach, pineapple and flowers. Tight yet mouth-filling and persistent on the palate.
