Pecorino DOC Limited Edition 0.75 L – Numa

The Pecorino DOC Limited Edition by Numa is a high-quality white wine, characterized by unique complexity and elegance. The soil where the vines are cultivated has varied morphological characteristics, with a high presence of stones and a partial clay component, exposed to different sun exposures. The yield per hectare is 50-60 quintals, with double Guyot training ranging from 3,300 vines per hectare for older plants to 4,500 vines per hectare for newer ones.

Harvesting is done manually with grape selection in the field, collected in crates to ensure the integrity of the grapes. After harvesting, the selected grapes are stored in a cold room for a determined period to achieve greater aroma extraction. Subsequently, the grapes are processed at controlled temperature directly in new French oak barrels for over 40 days.

Aging occurs for 12-13 months on its own lees, with appropriate bâtonnage in selected French oak barrels, followed by bottle aging. This vinification and aging process gives the wine extraordinary structure and complexity, with the potential for long aging, up to 10 years.
