"La Cerretina" - Giovanna Pacina

Complex white wine obtained from a blend of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti. After the harvest, the grapes are fermented spontaneously with only indigenous yeasts and with a maceration on the skins for 6 days in cement tanks. The refinement continues for 14 months in 10 hectoliters Allier oak barrels and barrels acacia from 5 hectoliters. La Cerretina shows a golden yellow color. On the nose the aromas are intense and persistent with notes of yellow pulp fruit, dried fruit, spicy hints and slight mineral notes. In the mouth it is dry and warm, full-bodied, fresh and balanced, with excellent persistence..

Pairing

A wine for any meal that goes perfectly with first courses, grilled and stewed fish, to try with an octopus in the sauce.
