After further aging for 7 months on its own yeasts in stainless steel, the wine is bottled.
Color:
Bright and sparkling golden yellow with silvery reflections.
Nose:
The 2018 Sole e Vento arrives just in time for summer: summer is also the scent we think of when we smell into the glass. Aromas of pineapple, ripe mango, oranges and distinct orange and elderflower - it immediately puts you in a holiday mood. However, it is by no means a fruit-driven drop, but it also shows the finest notes of fennel herb, Mediterranean herbs, mussel shell and anise.
Palate:
Juicy, quaffable and charming, it hits the tongue with a lovely fruit sweetness accompanied by a subtle tart citrus note. Spicy and refreshing, a wine to drink solo in rough quantities, which you can do at 11.5 Vol% without remorse. Top also as a companion of fruity and aromatic summer cuisine.
