Info about the wine:
The Bianco Pomice is a cuvée of 60 % Malvasia delle Lipari and 40 % Carricante. The vineyards are located in the Lipari area at an altitude of about 350 meters on mineral-rich volcanic sand and pumice (pómice). Direct pressing of the grapes in a pneumatic press, no clarification of the must, maceration for eight hours, fermentation at 20 °C, aging of the Malvasia in stainless steel and the Carricante in used barrels with some bâtonnage for six months.
Color:
Light golden yellow with delicate silvery reflections.
Nose:
The nose is immediately captivating with herbal, ethereal and herbal scents: fresh citrus notes and exotic hints of guava, pineapple and honeydew melon. Salty sea breeze brushes past and becomes more intense with longer opening.
Palate:
On the palate, it is juicy and fresh and animates with a fine spiciness. An incredibly complex, full-bodied and stimulating white wine that can be enjoyed wonderfully in combination with Mediterranean cuisine. On the palate, the minerality and the fine salty note stand out even more. It unfolds best in combination with fish and shellfish.
