Sopravvento Changes!

The brothers' first wine, first made in 2019: an amber white that macerates over a month on its skins and ages in acacia.

Tasting notes

Amber-yellow colour. Refined floral aromas of mimosa and chamomile, with apricot and peach, and echoes of resin and sealing wax adding complexity. Tense and fresh on entry; a lively thrust and a tannic touch lead to a well-calibrated sip with a long finish.

Pairs well with

Delicate and fresh herb cheeses, pumpkin dishes and shellfish

Harvest
Hand-picked at physiological ripeness, so the date changes from year to year
Vinification
Hand-selected native white grapes. Spontaneous fermentation, then about 40 days of maceration on the skins, partly with whole bunches, in steel. 10 months in used acacia barrels, then bottled and rested in a historic balmetto cellar of 1805 until ready. No corrections, fining or filtration. First vintage 2019; 1,400 bottles on the tech sheet.
Serving temperature
Cellar temperature, not too cold and certainly not warm
