Manual harvesting at the end of September initiates a cold pre-maceration with dry ice for 10 days, to preserve aromatic freshness. Fermentation begins with native yeasts, and the wine rests for 9 months in large barrels with its lees, to gain texture without stifling its varietal purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1851\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense golden yellow, bright and alluring.\u003cbr data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe orange, quince, stone fruit, and a sweet echo of coconut and honey unfold, blending with the Mediterranean salinity of its soil.\u003cbr data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enveloping and elegant, with lively acidity, creamy body, and a long, savory finish.
