ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Straw yellow colour with golden hues. On the nose it expresses intense fruity notes and mineral hints. In the mouth it conveys the great structure typical of this grape variety and a vibrant acidity.

FOOD PAIRINGS
At the table, it goes very well with seafood dishes, shellfish, and flavourful fish. Among the local pairings, those with buffalo mozzarella are especially good.

TERROIR
The grapes come from a selection of vineyards spread across the different terroirs of the Janare estate, with the exception of the alluvial valley floors. Just like con- ducting an orchestra, where it is the conductor’s task to guarantee absolute harmony to the whole by ensur- ing that each component gives its best, here the work consists of selecting, in each vintage, the best grapes from different soils, morphologies and microclimates – the volcanic soils of the ignimbrite, the river terraces and the ancient black soil of the marly hills – with the result of unfailing constancy of character and quality, which our valley is always able to ensure.
