Castellaro Selezioni - Riviera Ligure di Ponente - VERMENTINO D.O.C.

Production area
It's produced using grapes of the vermentino variety, purely vinified and cultivated in a hilly area of the West of the Liguria region, in Salea di Albenga (Savona).
Vinification
Grapes are picked up by hand in the first decade of September and softly pressed (0.2 a.t.m.). The must, naturally decanted through the temperature control, begins the fermentation. After a refining period into inoxidizable steel tanks, it's ready to give us its unique equilibrium and bouquet.
Characteristics
Its colour is an intense straw-yellow embellished by bright green reflexes. It appears lipid and of good consistency. Its perfume is very intense and persistent with clear scents of fresh fruits in agreeable evidence, with a light sage and elder flowers mark. The gustative formulation identifies a good structure, supported by a pleasant caloric structure. Tones are soft and balanced by fresh and tasty marks. It expresses a long final with a good persistency.
It's a still dry white wine of good tasty content, suited to be served with a large series of dishes such as fish hors d'oeuvres, stuffed vegetables, pansotti with walnut sauce, lasagne al pesto and all first courses of the Liguria tradition.
It presents adequate evolutionary prerogatives after 1-2 years after the grape harvest.
