Description

Bright yellow in colour, with a slightly sweet aroma of citrus fruits, melon and Golden Delicious. Rich and fruity on the palate, with a powerful structure and hints of grapefruit, honeydew melon and apricot jam. An exceptional and very harmonious white wine in which all the components are finely balanced.

Ferentano is a pure white wine made from the rare, indigenous Roscetto grape, an ancient indigenous variety of the territory of Montefiascone. This grape with small compact bunches, having a low yield, can offer a full bodied wine with great extracts.

The selected grapes are exposed to cryomaceration which exalt the Rossetto varietal characteristics. The first step of the alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel vats at a temperature of 13-15°C.  The second part of the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations takes place in barrique where the wine continues to evolve for 4 months.
