Product details
We ferment Bical through the skin after completely destemming the grapes. Chestnut flower was added as the only preservative. Leave to rest for 2 weeks in an open wine press, until fermentation is complete. We then press the solids in a traditional basket press. We age the wine partly in barrels (500l oak barrels) and partly in amphorae for one year until the wine becomes naturally stable.
Grape Varieties:
Bical
Tasting Notes:
It has a distinct touch of flowers (chamomile, thyme flower), pears (typical Bical) and a slightly velvety character (hazelnuts, almonds, pine). After some time in the glass, it reveals even more thyme and honey. It will develop further with some time in the bottle. The mouthfeel is creamy, relatively smooth and presents an intriguing minerality, spicy flavor and good length. This is definitely a great flavor teaser! Very mineral nose with some smoke due to the limestone soil. Intense bright straw yellow color with greenish rim and good viscosity.
