WINEMAKING NOTES

The grapes, carefully selected in the vineyard to produce this single-varietal wine, undergo a "very brief" cold maceration process before alcoholic fermentation to allow for optimal extraction of varietal aromas. After static settling and regulation of the fine lees, the musts are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The subsequent aging on the fine lees enhances its organoleptic properties.

PAIRING

Grechetto is an excellent wine for food pairings due to its balanced acidity and distinctive almond finish, which helps to cleanse the palate. It is particularly well-suited for accompanying elaborate fish dishes, white meats and game.
