Signature

We do our very best for our "Signature". For this wine we select and hand-pick the very best of our Vermentino grapes and transport them with greatest care (and in small bins) to the winery. After a maceration in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for 7 days and a very gentle pressing the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations as well as the aging of the 2002 vintage took place in natural stoneware amphoras (Vin & Terre). We chose not to filter the wine before bottling and did not add any sulfites. The 2022 Signature shows the full potential of the Vermentino grape. 2900 bottles.    

Mustard-coloured with lovely silver highlights.

The nose is powerful, marked by Mediterranean energies, with aromas of pine, resin, volcanic rock, notes of egg yolk and hints of garrigue.

The palate is straightforward and powerful, with a lovely skeleton structured by fresh, spicy and yeasty tones. Gentleness and body characterise a long, persistent and enjoyable finish.

Our Signature goes perfectly with all fish dishes. We recommend turbot, St. Pierre or sole grilled to perfection with Beurre Blanc or a Béarnaise sauce. Vermentino wines are also excellent companions for seafood, for example a fresh carpaccio of scallops with citrus and passion fruit. 
For meat lovers, we recommend pork tenderloin, lemon chicken or curry, and for vegetarians, green or white asparagus with beautiful buttered potatoes. 

For Vermentino wines, we recommend sheep and goat cheeses from Provence or Sardinia. With the Signature, we like best a fresh sheep's cheese kept juicy in olive oil with herbs from Provence (but without garlic!), or a Pecorino (sheep) or Caprini (goat) from Sardinia.

We love all kinds of almond cakes with our Signature. Even better with Vermentino wines are the famous Italian holiday sweets like a Panettone or a Colomba. For these specialties Italian bakers mix flour, eggs, butter, natural yeast, sultanas, candied oranges and citrus zest before letting the dough rise for about 30 hours or more.
