A fusion of the very best: this is how the estate describes the wine, drawing on three historic vineyards. At San Lorenzo, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grow on calcareous gravel; the vines, over thirty years old, are trained using the Guyot method. According to the estate, the wine embodies its determination to measure itself against an international benchmark; it does not specify which one, however, and this gives the wine the freedom to achieve this in its own way. The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels with a capacity of 500 Liters, and frequent stirring of the fine lees accompanies the eleven months spent in wood. Once the three varieties have been blended, the wine matures for a long time in stainless steel before being bottled.

A pale straw-yellow colour with a golden sheen. Citrus and passion fruit open the nose, followed by yellow apple and ripe peach, accompanied by hazelnut and vanilla cream, with hints of dandelion and camomile on the edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, soft and round, with well-integrated acidity and a hint of toasty notes in the background. The finish is long and sustained, carried by a sense of tension. Ambition without breaking a sweat: this wine carries its aspirations with composure. SUPERIORE.DE
