GRADATION 16%

ORIGIN

Vineyards grown as bush vines on soils made up of clayey sands, locally called Bennaxi .

PROCESSING

White winemaking with spontaneous fermentation in a cement tank The must must have an initial sugar concentration of at least 21° to guarantee the future alcohol content necessary for refinement and maturation. The spring following the harvest, the new wine is transferred to oak and chestnut barrels of various sizes, which are purposely left full, so that its biological refinement can begin under “ flor ” yeasts, the same yeasts that conducted the alcoholic fermentation. The maturation period must not last less than 8 years.

CHARACTERISTICS

Color: golden yellow tending towards amber.
Aroma: typical and delicate, a hint of almond blossom can be clearly appreciated.
Taste: on the palate it is subtle and delicately bitter.

COMBINATIONS

Vernaccia Juighissa is an excellent wine as an aperitif with blue cheeses, but also to accompany some desserts. Its qualities are enhanced even more if accompanied with almond-based desserts or pastries. An exceptional meditation wine.
