Gaiospino

Gaiospino is Fattoria Coroncino's flagship Verdicchio, sourced from historic vines in the Contrada Spescia vineyard in Cupramontana, on sloping land with calcareous marl soil. Always the result of a careful selection of grapes harvested at full ripeness, it ages on the lees for over a year, acquiring a structure and agility that stands the test of time. Depending on the vintage, it may include a small amount of oak fermentation to enhance its character

Soft pressing and static decantation of the must

Spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and simple temperature control

Maturation

In concrete tanks and in French oak barrels of 500 l, on the fine lees with minimal rackings

blend

Although Gaiospino is made exclusively from a single vineyard, an organoleptic selection is performed to determine the percentage of wood in the blend, which varies from 5 to 20% depending on the vintage, sometimes completely absent (as in 2016) to preserve the purity of the fruit

Organoleptic profile

The nose opens with mineral and ethereal sensations of slightly smoky spices and fresh fruit, then remains austere and elegant.

On the palate, the entry is engaging and agile, with elegant notes of fruit and spices. The finish, salty and persistent, fades into an intriguing herbaceous epilogue
