Vine variety and Terroir

Lupus In Fabula comes from the Vermentino vineyards grown in counter-espalier on sandy soils from granite weathering, typical of the area between Olbia and Loiri Porto San Paolo, a short distance from the sea and facing the wonderful island of Tavolara. This terroir is perfect for the production of elegant Vermentinos with a good predisposition to ageing. The mild climate, refreshed by the evening sea breezes full of salts, helps to give the wine remarkable freshness and flavor.

Vinification and Aging

The vinification of Lupus In Fabula follows a process accurate. The grapes, harvested manually in small boxes during the first ten days of September, are immediately taken to the cellar for soft vacuum pressing. The must is then rapidly cooled and clarified through cold decantation. Alcoholic fermentation occurs slowly in steel containers at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine matures on the peels of its yeasts for at least 8 months in steel, developing a complex structure and a rich aromatic profile. Before distribution, the wine is further refined in the bottle for a few months.

Organoleptic Characteristics

In the glass, Lupus In Fabula has a straw yellow color, animated by greenish reflections , bright and lively. On the nose, it offers complex and fine aromas, with floral hints of broom and elderflower, white pulp fruit such as pear and peach, and delicate marine notes. On the palate, the wine amazes with its juiciness and structure, balanced by freshness and flavor. The tasting is long and intense, confirming the pleasant olfactory notes and ending with an almondy and mineral finish.

Gastronomic Pairings

Lupus In Fabula is perfect as an aperitif and pairs harmoniously to fish dishes, including structured or slightly spiced ones, and white meats. Try it with appetizers such as swordfish carpaccio with apples, rocket and Greek yogurt, or with rich seafood main courses such as Andalusian-style stuffed calamari. Its versatility makes it suitable for many occasions, from informal dinners with friends to refined lunches.

Service and Storage Methods

To best appreciate the qualities of Lupus In Fabula, recommends serving it at a temperature of 8-10°C. Use medium-opening glasses to enhance the aromas and maintain the freshness of the wine. Before tasting it, it is advisable to let it breathe for at least 15-30 minutes, allowing the wine to open completely and develop all its complex aromas. This Vermentino is ready to drink immediately, but can also evolve positively if stored in the cellar for a few years.
