WINEMAKING:
Gently pressed in whole clusters in pneumatic presses, fermentation with indigenous yeasts (element of the terroir, enhances depth and complexity in the wines) in old oak vats.

TASTING NOTES:
Our vibrant Pinot Blanc launches with delicate aromas of orchard fruits and white blossoms. Well structured, crisp and perfectly balanced as a result of an interesting contrast between the freshness of the acidity and the ripeness of the fruit. Ending on a firm and persistent finish.
