VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI
Denominazione di Origine Controllata
CLASSICO SUPERIORE

This wine is produced from very carefully selected grapes in our oldest vineyards where the grapes are thinned out to reduce the production to 8- 9 tons per hectare.
Harvested in small crates, the soft pressing and the temperature controls during fermentation mean that the grapes are cared for in the old traditional way.
Lively and vibrant in colour, with a high alcoholic content, it has strength and character.
It has a light and inviting fragrance with a harmoniously balanced taste which is both full-flavoured and sweet-aromatic. It's a wine in evolution.
The yearly production of this selected wine is about 90.000 bottles.
The Tralivio is available in Sartarelli bottles of 750 ml, in borgognotta bottles of 375 ml or in borgognotta magnum bottles of 1,5 litre. The magnum bottle is available also in single wooden case.

Its fine elegant smell with notes of white fruits and citrus-fruits develops into a subtle mineral aroma.
