This 100% hand harvested wine is a blend of 60% Arneis and 40% Chardonnay all from the estate vineyard in Atlántida. The vineyard was planted in 1993, just above sea level, 4 km from the Atlantic Ocean. The soil is comprised of calcareous clay.

Tasting Notes: The nose shows notes of ripe white peach, crushed stone, flint, pine nut, and white flowers. The palate shows stone fruit with nice texture and weight from the Chardonnay and a crisp and lifted finish with bright acidity.

    This is a co-fermentation of 60% Arneis (Fallabrino's family is from Piemonte, the home of this variety) and 40% Chardonnay, all from their own vineyards in Atlántida. With six months on the lees, this year the wine feels unctuous, with flavors of ripe white fruits and dried fruits. The body is dense, with floral tones, and a rich acidity that manages to balance. For fried fish.
