Vulcaia Sauvignon is the fermented version in wood of the same Sauvignon wine called Vulcaia Fumé, which has obtained from the beginning a remarkable interest because of its fat and the powerful component of tropical fruit, coffee and citrus and aromatic floral notes. Sauvignon Fumé represents a production outside of styles and trend groups, a unique wine of its kind. Made from only Sauvignon Blanc grapes: once in the cellar the grapes are cooled in a cold room for a few hours and then destemmed. This is followed by a cold maceration on the skins for 3-6 hours. After a static decantation of 24 hours, the must carries out the alcoholic fermentation in French oak barriques with strong toasting. The maturation is prolonged for 6 months, during which periodic batonnage is carried out and then the wine is transferred to steel. In November, Vulcaia Fumé is bottled and remains in aging for a few months before being presented on the market. The glass has a straw yellow color and the nose is expressed with hints of coffee, spices and flower petals. The palate has tropical fruit, citrus and great aromatic complexity. Long and persistent finish. Recommended in combination with smoked salmon, caviar, bottarga and tempura. Perfect with traditional dishes such as tripe with sauce, Venetian liver or cod Vicenza. To fully appreciate its style, this Sauvignon Fumé should be served at a serving temperature of 8/10 ºC.
