"Total SO2 less than 60 ppm. Fresh pear and lemon zest aromas are lifted by notes of white flowers and dusty minerals and backed by a subtle herbal nuance. Silky, focused and penetrating on the palate, offering refreshingly bitter citrus and orchard fruit flavors that put on weight with air. A herbal nuance emerges on the finish, which clings with strong minerality.
100% Vermentino from 45 year old vines grown on blue schist soil with south/south-east exposure. 4400 vines per hectare. Handpicked, 100% destemmed, direct pneumatic pressing and skin contact. Temperature controlled fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel. 6 months maturation on fine lees in concrete tank. No fining and lightly filtered before bottling." - Manu Venturi, Domaine Vico
