TASTING NOTES

Production

The Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato Superiore is one of the winery’s most important dry whites. Produced entirely from Pigato grapes grown on the highest part of the hillside. From well-drained soils with a high limestone-clay content and a stony texture, facing south-south-west. The harvest is completed in mid-September, strictly by hand. After careful selection of the bunches, gentle pressing takes place. Fermentation occurs partly in temperature-controlled steel tanks and partly in small French oak barrels in contact with the skins. The wine is aged in the bottle for 10 months. Energy per 100 ml: 71 kcal/297 kJ

Organoleptic Characteristics

Straw-yellow colour. On the nose, aromas of fresh fruit, hay and smokiness. On the palate, it is round and smooth, yet with good acidity that keeps it fresh and lively.

Occasion and Pairing

A Ligurian white to enjoy every day, pairing well with fish dishes, pasta and risotto.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Vis Amoris

The Vis Amoris winery is located in the Imperia area, on the western riviera of Liguria. The owner family has always passed on an enormous passion for viticulture and the production of wines. This is evident in the nuances of the products' inimitable aromas and flavours. With an almost entirely manual method of recounting and total control of temperatures at every stage of production, the winery offers prized white wines from a single Ligurian grape variety. This is Pigato, loved and appreciated internationally and processed here for the first time to obtain six different and unusual versions. Absolute innovation is then the processing that from these grapes provides the Metodo Classico Millesimato 2009 sparkling wine. The three and a half hectares on which the winery's vineyards stand enjoy a splendid Mediterranean climate, which, despite the rather rugged terrain, guarantees all its special and inimitable qualities to the final products sold. Moreover, sustainability is not ignored. Here, in fact, no herbicides are used and every approach to the vineyards takes place with the utmost respect for the surrounding ecosystem and the land. It is no coincidence that Vis Amoris has been certified organic for over 5 years. Name and address of producer/distributor: Vis Amoris - Str. Vasia, 18100 Imperia (IM). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
