Ziru Vermentino in Amphora Corda 2019

In Sardinian, Ziru is a term that indicates the ceramic jars and amphorae used by farmers to store oil and wine, the same amphorae where this wine is matured.

ORIGIN
Vineyards trained in counter-espalier with Guyot pruning, on the calcareous-marly soils typical of this area, in the countryside of Serdiana (CA).

PROCESSING
Ziru is obtained from local white grapes, harvested manually in order to select the best bunches. In the cellar we continue with alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins for about 20 days, with subsequent refinement for 24 months in terracotta amphorae. The wine is filtered before bottling.
Suitable for resting in the cellar for up to three years after the harvest.

CHARACTERISTICS
Color: straw yellow, with golden reflections.
Perfume: hints of white pulp fruits and citrus fruits, floral notes and tones of wild herbs.
Taste: rich, fresh and with a pleasant flavor.

COMBINATIONS
Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with vegetarian dishes. Perfect at the table together with seafood appetizers, first courses such as seafood risotto and simple seafood second courses such as grilled sea bream.
