100% Vernaccia

The reserve bottling of this grape benefits from spending time, 18 months in oak barriques which imparts a greater depth of flavours and textures to this wine. It has a little more colour than the ordinary Vernaccia with a complex bouquet of pineapple and wild rose. This is a buttery, unctuous and weighty wine, harmonious and elegant, goes on and on.

Richard Bampfield MW:
Subtle aromas of apple, emerging straw tones. Touch of oak in the background, mature, highly flavoured, developing nutty characters. Lovely rich palate, with a firm dry finish.
