Saint Valier Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2018 - Conte Vistarino

Conte Vistarino's Saint Valier was born in vineyards located on the Rocca de' Giorgi estate, in the province of Pavia. The name of the wine derives from the company toponym which has its roots in the original clone of Saint Vallier, in Provence. It is produced entirely with Pinot Noir grapes, selected and harvested only by hand in 20kg boxes. First of all, the grapes remain for one night in a cold room at 10°C. The white vinification takes place in the morning. The grapes are pressed to obtain the must, which is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature, where it remains on the fine lees for approx. 4 months, until bottling. It has a golden yellow colour. The nose opens with a rich and enveloping bouquet, characterized by notes of golden apple, peach and apricot. On the palate it is fresh and balanced, with a pleasant persistence. This white wine is very versatile in pairings and goes well with white meats and tasty vegetarian dishes, as well as fresh cheeses, including sheep's cheeses.
