A blend of 50% Procanico, 20% Verdello, 20% Drupeggio and 10% Grechetto from a vineyard with vines that are over 30 years old. The wine matures on the lees in stainless steel vats for five months. The clear, straw color has green reflections and the delicate aroma has floral and citrusy notes, chalky sensations and a clear one of white almond. The elegant and saline mouthfeel is quite full-bodied with smoky hints and a flavor consistent with the aroma while the aftertaste is of aromatic herbs.
