Production
The Sauvignon Blanc is harvested in early September for freshness, while Vermentino is picked later to add texture and tropical complexity. Both varieties undergo a short period of cold skin maceration before fermentation. The wine is aged on lees for two months to build weight and roundness before bottling.
Vineyard
Sourced from cool-climate sites in southern France where ocean breezes and cooler nights preserve aromatic intensity. The mix of sandy and limestone soils helps maintain bright acidity and pure fruit character, producing a vibrant, expressive style.
Pairing
A natural match for goat’s cheese salad or grilled asparagus with lemon dressing. Its freshness also pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes, shellfish or summer vegetable risottos — or simply enjoy it as a crisp aperitif.
