Giallo d’Arles is an extreme and rigorous interpretation of the Greco di Tufo wine. It is a cru produced with one vineyard of Greco grapes. The ancient yellow-golden colour, typical of the denomination, is more intense also thanks to the partial fermentation in new oak barrels and thanks to the complete absence of any clarification treatments. It is a white wine with the structure of a red wine, powerful and refined, characterized by a deep minerality blended with flavours of apricot and quince marmelade and by a full and fresh taste. Giallo d’Arles has also an extraordinary predisposition to maturation in bottle, obtaining year-by-year elegance, complexity and harmony. The name given to the wine is a tribute to Van Gogh’s favourite colour during his stay in Arles: a yellow which is a prelude of red.
On the nose, notes of apricot and quince jam.
In the mouth is a white wine with the structure of a red, powerful and refined, characterized by a deep minerality and a full and fresh taste.
Perfect to be drunk throughout a meal, it goes well with rich fish-based first courses, savoury pies, soups and vegetable soups.
8-10 °C
After a long pressing of the whole grapes, the free-run must, rigorously protected from oxygen, is separated from the pressed must and clarified by natural settling. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks (70%) and in new oak barrels (30%). The wines are aged for 8 months on fine lees, periodically resuspended.
