LE CARRAIE 2008 DOC
"TERRATICO DI BIBBONA VERMENTINO"

Growing Area
The wineyards belong to the farm and are situated on a hill area to the north of Bibbona at an altitude of 60-70 metres above sea level. The grounds are mixed clayey, rich in pebble and the sun shines vividly upon them.

The grape blend
Vermentino 100%

Production technique
The grape harvest is in the first ten days of September, depending on the seasonal trend and it is made by hand.  As soon as the selected grapes are harvested they are received in the winery and pressed, using the “soft-pressing” method to maintain and preserve the smells and the organoleptic features. The fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks until there are no sugars left. A natural settling follows the fermentation and then the wine is bottled. After a short stay in the bottle, it is ready for the sale.

Organoleptic features
The colour is straw yellow with golden shades and the bouquet is wide. It is a dry and fruity wine with a good persistence in the mouth.

Gastronomic matches
This wine goes well with typical tuscan dishes of fish and white meats.
