Soil: calcareous clay Harvest: third decade of August

Trellising system: silyo

Production per hectare: 80 quintals

Aromas: on the nose, it has a broad and gentle bouquet, with notes of white flowers like jasmine, chamomile, wildflowers, apple, and yellow plum.

Taste: hints of ripe fruit and dried fruit.

A pleasant savoriness and freshness combined with a softness that recalls the sensations of silk.

It has a persistent and creamy foam.

Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.

Winemaking: after a careful selection of the best grape bunches, with low yields per hectare, a light pressing is carried out, from which only the free-run juice will ferment in steel containers where it will rest until it is bottled for the secondary fermentation.

The final pressure obtained inside the bottle is less than 5 atmospheres, which determines its distinctive gustatory softness.

After a maturation period of at least 24 months, the bottles undergo riddling and disgorging operations before being packaged and put on the market, at least two months after this operation.
