Tasting note
Pure Vermentino, intense yet approachable, full of apple, peach, citrus and sunshine.
Viticulture
The grapes making Cala Silente come from vermentino vineyards having the best exposure, cultivation density and yield per plant. The soil composition is a medium mixture, tending to sandy and clayey. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot and dry summers and mild winters.
Vinification
The hand-picked grapes are again selected at the Winery before being approved for separate vinification in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature (16-18 °C). After completing alcoholic fermentation, the wine develops further in cement vats in contact with its lees, acquiring greater roundness and taste.
Food Match
A pleasingly palatable combination can be made with the following dishes: pasta with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, gorgonzola and pine nuts, citrus tarragon chicken or pork medallions with Dijon mustard cream sauce.
