The vines were planted in 2014 on dry, lava stone wall terraces surrounded by forest at about 700 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested by hand in early October then taken to the cellar and left in the press at low temperature for 6 hours. The whole bunches are then softly pneumatic-pressed with 90% of the must fermented in French oak tonneaux of 500 litres and 10% in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine is aged in these vessels for 8 months before bottling. Malo-lactic fermentation is not carried out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"...Frontebosco wafts up with a gorgeous blend of peach skins, green melon, sage and crushed stones. It’s elegant and refined with silken textures, nearly oily in feel, easily casting ripe apple and mineral-drenched pear across the palate. The Frontebosco finishes dramatically long and saline, lightly structured, leaving a resonance of lemon and savory spice. It would be difficult to distinguish this from Premier Cru White Burgundy in a blind lineup.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Eric Guido, Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Perfumed floral aromas are enchanting with flint and matchstick undertones.
