This is a red wine of great density, structure and balance, produced in limited quantity from selected vineyards. Burdese is a splendid wine for aging that offers a complexity of aromas and flavours, a product of the Sicilian sun
Tasting Note: Vibrant Sicilian white wine from volcanic soil, rounded, fruity and perfumed with yellow plums, white stone fruit and herbs.
Food Matching: A white wine for all seasons. Good as an aperitif, but excellent with starters based on fish and pasta.
Vinification: The grapes are picked into crates and are at once refrigerated at 8°C. After light crushing and destemming they are soft pressed. The decanted must is racked and inoculated with yeasts then ferments at 15°C for 20 days. The wine thus obtained remains on the lees until February with continuous mixing. 10% of the must is fermented in barriques. The wine is then matured in stainless steel tanks and Allier oak 225 litre barriques.
The 1.7 hectare Margheria vineyard is located in Serralunga d’Alba at an altitude of 340 m asl. The soil is calcareous with a good percentage of sand, adding elegance, mineral and spicy notes to the wine.
