2023 Tempa di Zoe 6 'Asterias' Fiano Campania IGT Italy
$26.00
Asterìas means starfish in Greek. It is the company’s first white wine, and is made from Fiano grapes. The star symbolizes guiding light, but it also speaks of the inspiration that comes from Monte Stella, a massif in Cilento National Park that towers 1131 metres above sea level. Its peak looks down on our vineyard, nestled between the mountain and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks after soft pressing. 6 months for 75% in steel tanks and 25% in French oak barrels. About 2 months in the bottle.
Generous and savory coastal Fiano, fruity impact of citrus and white peach, nuances of chamomile and honey. Fresh, sapid, very long on the palate with perfect correspondence between nose and mouth.
