Following a five day cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance aromatic expression, the wine is fermented and aged in concrete tanks. It remains on its fine lees for 6 to 8 months before bottling to preserve purity and balance. Elegant and distinctive, the nose is marked by the hallmark white pepper spice of Schioppettino, alongside fresh red cherry, hints of watermelon, and subtle licorice. The palate is slender and refined, favoring finesse over power, with moderate alcohol, delicate tannins, and vibrant freshness. Reminiscent of Pinot Noir in style, it offers clarity and approachability, finishing clean, spicy, and persistent. An excellent pairing for white meats, poultry, rabbit, veal, mushroom dishes, light risottos, fresh pasta, and medium-aged cheeses.
