Vignavella, a wine with an unmistakable footprint. The result of a masterly fusion of two different expressions of a single selection of a special clone cultivated in two distinct areas of the estate.
CULTIVATION ENVIRONMENT
The Vella area is located nearby the winery and it shows a soil profile of medium texture with a significant presence of calcareous skeleton. Here the vines develop grapes with specific aromas of ripe tropical fruit rich of nuances, altogether with a pronounced verticality and a solid acidic backbone.
The Munti area is located about 2 km northwest from the winery. Here the soil profile is characterised by high clay component that enhances the terroir expression disclosing flavors of jam and most preminent tropical notes, evolving in candied fruit, offering more opulent perfumes and tastes.
SENSORY PROFILE
Intense straw yellow color. The nose opens with yellow tropical notes in which yellow peach, ripe pineapple and mango are distinguished. To the palate is rich, structured, full and warm. A wine of great power that stands out for its particular persistence.
