The old vineyard is situated at a very high altitude, giving the Verdejo bunches plenty of sunshine, but they also experience intense coolness. The dramatic difference between day and night temperatures allows the bunches to grow slowly and evenly. The coolness helps the bunches retain their freshness and a natural mineral note. When the harvest is ripe, the Valmoro winemaker has the bunches brought in at night. This gives this white wine an extra touch, and you can certainly taste it. Upon arrival, all bunches are rigorously inspected; only the finest are pressed and aged for a full three months in the Valmoro cellars.
Upon pouring, we first see a beautiful, clear color with a light yellow and green shimmer. Nosing the glass, we smell the freshness in this white wine. We noted nuances of lime and pear, as well as grapefruit, gooseberry, and fennel. As soon as we take a sip, our palate is filled with impressions of fresh white and citrus fruit, with gooseberries and lime taking center stage. The cheerful bouquet gives a refreshing feeling, with room for green herbs and pineapple. In short, for this price, a truly excellent glass of wine. And yes, we're just waiting for it to be showered with awards; the first one has already been won!
