Vinification

the grapes come exclusively from this historic vineyard located under the Torre dei Vescovi of Castelnuovo Magra, in a sunny, healthy environment beaten by sea breezes. The harvest takes place at the end of September, after having selected and taken care of every single bunch so that it reaches the perfect ripeness and the typical amber color of the Vermentino breed. Grapes are crushed and destemmed and cooled with dry ice, then undergo a pre-fermentative maceration of 12 hours at 10°C, pressed and the must is decanted for 48 hours at 5°C, to ensure olfactory cleanliness, elegance, and well-defined characters. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15 °C and it is usually slow and exceptionally long.

Refinement

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes an important 4-5 months of elevage in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees of the yeasts at a controlled temperature of 10° C, taking care to avoid malolactic fermentation, after which the product is naturally decanted, cleaned with a couple of decanting and mildly filtered in preparation for bottling, which usually takes place in April of the following year.

Tasting notes

Color: bright golden yellow with ancient gold reflections
Bouquet: an explosion of white fruit and ripe citrus fruits on a mineral and balsamic background with hints of thyme, oregano, and saltiness, reminding everyone of the potential of this noble grape variety and making La Cascina dei Peri an admirable example of its perfect union with our territory and with the coastal climate of Levante Ligure
Taste: fresh and fragrant, rich in mineral hints and again a lot of ripe fruit, which together with the full and juicy acidity enhance drinkability, structure, and taste persistence.

Recommendation

An ideal wine to accompany grilled fish and shellfish dishes; also excellent with tasty Ligurian first courses and roasted white meats. Optimal serving temperature 10 °C.
