Vinification: The 2024 harvest began traditionally with Muscat Spinas, which is the first variety to ripen on August 3. This was followed by classic white vinification with pre-fermentation cryoextraction. Only the free-run juice was vinified at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting notes: Nose with intense floral character, subtle notes of night-blooming jasmine. Unexpectedly full-bodied for a Muscat, with freshness and mild acidity, hints of unripe melon and wild oregano.
