Sensory analysis:
Poggio Nibbiale’s Vermentino has a delicate fresh scent to the nose, with delicate aromas of citrus, red grapefruit in particular. On the palate, instead, it is very mature, with aromas of tropical fruit, and develops a creamy and dense structure, with mature tannins on the finish, which remind of ripe bananas.

Vinification:
Selective hand-picking, destemming, pressing made with a pneumatic press, and subsequent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. After a period of bâtonnage, this wine ages in stainless steel tanks until bottled. In the case of Vermentino vine, the decanting and in particular the natural activity of the grape enzymes are of great importance. This variety is very demanding.
