Details
A fresh, aromatic white wine made from selected Vermentino and Chardonnay grapes. The harvest is done by hand at dawn to retain the characteristic varietal features of these grapes, which tend to grow on vineyards with sandy soil.
Recommendations
Great with octopus on warm potato salad.
Vinification
The grapes are brought to the winery in small crates cooled by dry ice to keep the temperature down; then they are taken straight to the press. The fermentation at a controlled temperature (16°C) makes it possible to «refine» the wine for approx. 40 days on the lees. The must is frequently pumped around to optimise the fermentation process. Each grape variety is vinified separately in tanks made from stainless steel. In a secondary phase, the Vermentino and Chardonnay wines are blended together; this blend then rests for around 3 months in small concrete containers to complete the maturation and achieve a natural stabilisation of the Samas, which is neither filtered nor clarified.
