Straw yellow in colour, the nose reveals aromas of elderflower, wild flowers, and almond. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy, and sharp.
Planted in 2006/2007, the Guyot-trained vines are situated on dry, stony and well-drained medium Galestro soils at an altitude of 450 metres above sea level with south/south-western exposure. Vine density is 5,500 vines per hectare and farmed using organic practices.
The fruit was hand harvested. After de-stemming and pressing, fermentation took place in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats at 16 degrees Celsius with natural yeasts. No malolactic fermentation took place to preserve the characteristics of the grapes. The wine was then racked on fine lees for six months until bottling.
Francesco Giuntini of the Selvapiana winery first began renting Villa di Petrognano in Pomino in 1993. Francesco’s son, Federico Giuntini Masseti, is now at the winemaking helm, continuing the great work of the late Franco Bernabei, who was winemaking consultant.
