Where it comes from
This white comes from Pouilly-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Loire region, and is made from thirty-year-old vines cultivated following organic and sustainable production. The roots of the plants delve into clay soils, which ensure a balanced yield and consistent quality. The specific geological composition of the soil sharply defines the wine's identity, offering a pure expression and a pronounced minerality, in full accordance with the authentic and refined style of the terroir.
How it is produced
The processing of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes begins with an extremely gentle progressive pneumatic pressing. The must then ferments at a controlled temperature for three weeks, a technique aimed at preserving maximum aromatic precision. Maturation involves a rigorous selection on fine lees following homogenisation, a fundamental step to provide structure and balance without compromising the liveliness of the sip. This process ensures a persistent finish and a remarkable ageing potential, ranging from five to ten years.
