Casalfarneto Cimaio Marche bianco 2016

Colour: Yellow with golden reflections. Perfume: It exudes sweet scents of vanilla followed by mature notes of quince, honey, almond and spiced nuances. Flavour: In the mouth, it emerges its full body structure. On the nose, fruit notes prevail. Mineral, slightly bitter, but rounded, soft, warm and savoury – very persistent.

Cimaio is produced in the inland of central Le Marche, in the company-owned vineyards. The soil is of a medium to loose consistency, with a southeast exposure. Grapes, completely attached to their noble rot, are harvested in advanced state of ripening. The wine is obtained with the technique of “fermentation in white”: the “vinification” process occurs half in small wooden barrels and half in steel tanks. The refining process takes six months in steel and wood tanks, then another six months in steel tanks and finally 12 to 18 months in bottles.
