Product notes
The name "448 slm" refers to the geographical positioning of the historic Cantina Girlan farm, located at an altitude of 448 m above sea level. Vernatsch grapes grow in several vineyards in our production area. The soils here are rich in minerals, a result of Ice Age sedimentation
Production notes
The grapes are picked by hand and delivered in small containers to avoid excessive pressure on the grapes. Destemming and slow fermentation of the must at controlled temperature takes place in stainless steel tanks. Due to the longer maceration time, more color and tannin are extracted from the grapes. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, while aging takes place in concrete tanks.
Tasting notes
Vernatsch is the historical variety of Cornaiano. The wine presents a velvety and elegant bouquet. The nose is characterized by aromas of raspberries, cherries, violets and almonds. The palate is drinkable and fresh reminiscent of fruity aromas and good acidity. A real Glou Glou wine!!! Pairings with a beet salad and a veal chop or poultry with mushrooms
