I S-Cianchi Pigato Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC 2022 - Durin

It was the custom of our ancestors to follow the traditional harvest with a second over-ripening collection of “I S-cianchi”, or rather the small winged part of the pigato bunch. In keeping with tradition, this wine was obtained with an "old-fashioned" maceration on the skins for about 72 hours, which gave it the particular aroma that distinguishes it. It decanted naturally during the long winter months and underwent no filtration. Characteristics Dry white wine. Straw yellow color with golden reflections and beautiful luminosity. Fine and pleasant bouquet, ample, with a very intense impact. The vegetal and fruity scents are accompanied by decisive mineral notes and then completed by notes of sweet citrus fruits. The aromatic herbs in the foreground: thyme, sage, savory, mint, white pepper and spiciness of star anise to complete the picture. The taste is confirmed as full, fruity, generous and structured, very well balanced between softness and acidity. Persistent in the mouth, long and fascinating, it still allows elegant vegetal-fruity notes and fresh almonds seasoned with spice of anise to emerge in the finish.
