FON GRE
Comes from a vineyard planted in 1994 in Santa Paolina, bred espalier along steep slopes located at 500 m above sea level. The microclimate, the clayey-sandy and the low yields deliver to the grapes exclusive characters that, when harvesting, show a characteristic goldenrod colour.
Vinification includes a soft pressing, fermentation at low temperatures and a finishing in steel for five months with periodical bâtonnage. In the glass it has a nice bright color with golden hues, while releases with intensity notes of tropical fruit and orange blossom; on the palate reveals a pleasant mineral trace that acts as a support for a tasty citrus pulp.
