Fermentation and aging on the lees for 6 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. 80% Malolactic fermentation. The wine rests for 3 months in bottle prior to release. This is Ca Dei Frati's flagship wine. It has made their reputation and it continues to embody the winery's commitment to quality and local traditions. The grapes are from 10 to 35 year old vines planted on calcareous and clay soil. The nose is clean, delicate and fragrant, with notes of fresh white flowers and nettles, apricots and almonds. An attractive acidity gives it an elegant finish and makes it highly drinkable. It ages well and after several years in bottle, acquires complex notes of spices and candied fruit.
