The wine Vermentino Montidimola from the Surrau winery
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is strictly manual and the grapes are harvested only when completely ripe; this is the reason for the name “vendemmia tardica” that can be translated with “Late Harvest”.
After destemming, the must remains in contact with the skins for 12-24 hours at a temperature below 10 ° C. The fermentation takes place for 50% in large non-toasted French oak barrels and for 50% in steel and concrete tanks. After assembly, the wine ages on its lees, in steel and concrete tanks for 6 months and, once bottled, it rests for at least 6 months in the cellar.
Tasting the Vermentino
Straw yellow with golden reflections. The aroma is intense with notes of ripe fruit that alternate with hints of Mediterranean scrub. Soft on the palate, the taste is long, ample and persistent with a good correspondence between aromas and flavor.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect with fish and white meats but also with blue and medium-hard cheeses. Must try with fish soup.
