PROCESSING

Soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. Aged for 5 years in small oak and chestnut barrels, filled only partially to allow the development of flor yeasts, a thin layer of yeasts that guarantees a very slow oxidation of the wine, giving very complex tertiary aromas to the bouquet of Vernaccia.

CHARACTERISTICS

Color: intense golden yellow with red and amber reflections.

Aroma: Rich, intense, with hints of toasted cereals, dried fruit, honey, resin, candied citrus fruits, aromatic herbs and pleasant marine and salty nuances.

Taste: Dry, crisp, fresh and incisive, with warmth, softness and a long marine and citrus persistence.

COMBINATIONS

Componidori is an excellent wine when paired with blue and mature cheeses, but also with smoked fish appetizers or mushroom risotto.
