Late, selective manual harvest. Destemming followed by a cold maceration ('cold soak'), then gentle pressing. Use of selected yeasts to trigger temperature-controlled fermentation lasting 20 to 30 days in stainless steel. Subsequent maturation for four months in stainless steel before bottling.

Pale straw-yellow. Delicate yet distinctive Mediterranean fruit aromas redolent of the Amalfi Coast, complemented by other fruits such as green apple, grapefruit and lemon. Balanced and spicy on the palate, with a sour note dominating slightly and underscoring the freshness of the flavours.

Sourced from pergola- and Guyot-trained vines situated at elevations of between 200 and 550 metres above sea level in and around Furore and surrounding municipalities. The vineyards here are south-facing with soils consisting of calcareous Dolomite rock.
