Auramaris - 2021

Auramaris is a Latin word, meaning sea breeze. We thought this word appropriate since we are situated about 10 miles from the sea and Vermentino is a grape that grows well near the sea. The name was also inspired by its pronounced salinity which is reminiscent of the of breeze from the sea. Vibrant and fresh. The aromatics are correspondingly fresh, pure and primary, packed full of green apples, citrus, dried straw mediterranea herbs and minerality. The palate entry is also ultra-mineral, classically dry and restrained, showing a seamlessly balanced mouthfeel. The addition of 15% Grechetto increases the harmony and complexity of this wine.

  • Fermentation:Once the grapes are taken to our winery, which is located more or less in the middle our vineyards, they are immediately destemmed and pressed. The must is left to decant for 2 days while kept at a low temperature and then fermented in steel vats. About 10% of the must is fermented in used French Oak barriques and after a few weeks is blended with the rest of the wine.
  • Elevage:After fermentation which occurs in stainless steel vats is finished the resulting wine is left in the same vats until the beginning of November when it gets transferred into a different type of stainless-steel vat whose characteristic is that it will chill the wine to around 0 degrees centigrade. At this temperature the tartrates will precipitate and we achieve the stability of the wines without the use of chemical or animal products.
