Epokale is inspired by the wine of a distant era. Epokale is produced from the Gewürztraminer grapes. The wine is made in steel, where it remains in contact with the yeasts for another eight months with the must being decomposed naturally. It is then refined in small steel containers, in continuous contact with the yeasts for eight months. After bottling, the wine was taken to the Monteneve mine in Val Ridanna at over 2000 metres. It was stored here for about six years in the dark, 4 kilometers from the entrance of the tunnel and a depth of 450 meters under the mountain. The temperature of 11 degrees and humidity of 90% are constant throughout the year, the atmospheric pressure equal to that outside. The glass is pale yellow with golden reflections. An amazing olfactory kaleidoscope of floral notes of rose petals, spicy white flowers such as lily, ylang ylang, tiare; exotic notes of ripe yellow fruit, melon, mango, maracuja, lemon peel; aromatic spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, saffron. Full-bodied, deep, spicy, juicy, intense aroma and freshness, marked minerality that is accentuated with aging, making it even more seductive and extremely persistent finish. Perfect to pair with a dish of linguine with sea urchins, sauté of clams, buffalo mozzarella and vegetables in the pan. To fully appreciate the style, this wine should be served at a service temperature of 12/14°C.
