DESCRIPTION: This wine epitomizes sophistication and boasts a uniquely distinctive character. Its inception in 2021 marked the result of an experiment where grapes were left to rest on the seabed of Culuccia Island before transforming into wine. Following a meticulous selection and manual harvesting process, the finest grapes are gently placed in pots and allowed to rest briefly on the island's seabed. Subsequently, they are brought to the winery, cooled, and undergo a delicate pressing, utilizing only the free-run must for winemaking. The must is prepared for fermentation through a static and natural decantation process. Initial maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by further aging in the bottle for a minimum of four months.

Our viticulture adheres to organic standards, but we are committed to the greater challenge of bio-dynamic cultivation. Our vineyards have never been artificially irrigated nor enriched with any fertilizers.

ORGANOPLETIC CHARACTERISTICS: This white wine offers an immersive experience, inviting to savor and relish each and every note. While its vibrant straw-yellow hue may capture your eye, it doesn't fully encapsulate the myriad nuances of Mediterranean scrub aromas that instantly transport you to the island of Culuccia. With each inhalation, it conjures images of the sea, infusing the tasting experience with salty undertones that persist throughout.

GASTRONOMIC COMBINATIONS: suitable to accompany specialties such as oysters and shellfish and in general all seafood dishes.
