Winemaking
The grapes undergo partial destemming, followed by cold maceration in the press for 3–4 hours. Selected yeasts are used, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 16–18°C for 10–12 days, until the optimal balance of alcohol, sugar, and acidity is achieved. After fermentation, the wine ages in stainless steel tanks for one month before being bottled and released for sale

Delicate and full-bodied. It is reminiscent of the musky aroma typical of the White Muscat grape and the scent of acacia flowers
Pairings
