Description
The Bianco Mediterraneo is born in the Pascoli Alti, an unspoiled area located on the southern slopes of Mount Calamita, in the wildest and most enchanting part of the Island of Elba. The vineyards are situated 300 meters above sea level, in a unique position where the iron-rich, mineral soil, constant sea breezes, and dry climate create perfect conditions for vine cultivation. The poor fertility of the soil encourages limited but high-quality production, enhancing the wine’s freshness, sapidity, and a distinct Mediterranean character.
VINIFICATION
After careful manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing to preserve their freshness and aromas. The must, following a delicate racking, is fermented at a controlled temperature between 18° and 20°C, allowing for the development of intense aromas and good aromatic complexity.
AGEING
After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with fine lees for several months, a process that enhances its structure and roundness. Bottling takes place in spring, followed by bottle aging that perfects its balance and elegance.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Bright straw yellow.
Aroma: Notes of citrus, white flowers and a pronounced minerality.
Taste: Fresh, savoury, with a long citrus finish.
PAIRINGS
