Only the first pressing of the grapes is used for this wine, our finest Fiano. This free run juice is the best possible and it is fermented with great care using selected yeasts in temperature controlled tanks. The wine rests on the lees for eight months to add structure and complexity. Malolactic conversion is partial, depending on the natural acidity of the vintage. Before bottling, the wine is lightly filtered and stored at cellar temperature until we judge it to be ready for the market.
