Gaiospino Fume'

Gaiospino Fume' is born from the same matrix as Gaiospino, usually following a much longer path. Fermented and aged entirely in oak barrels, it is a Castelli di Jesi of great depth and personality, unafraid of time or strong pairings

Vinification & aging

Grapes arrival

Soft pressing and static decantation of the must

Fermentation

Spontaneous with indigenous yeasts in french oak tonneaux, new or used

Maturation

Exclusively in tonneaux,, without any racking for at least 24 months on the fine lees before bottling

Blend

The result of the expression of the single vineyard of Gaiospino, it represents an even more particular version, made so by the exclusive presence of oak as a material for refinement, also adjusted by an organoleptic selection before going into the bottle

Organoleptic profile

The nose has an elegant and layered vigor, with intense aromas of yellow fruit, candied citrus, and yellow flowers. Further down, delicately emerge the notes of the long aging in barrels: butter, honey, and vanilla, finishing with an unmistakable and elegant smoky note (fume')

The palate is voluminous, warm, and enveloping, counterpointed by a pronounced acidity and a decisive savory character, typical of Verdicchio. The finish is persistent, clean, and with a return of toasted notes

Temper

Gaiospino Fume' is a great expression of our cellar for structure, power and flavour, united together by an extraordinary balance

Aging potential: 10 years and more

Formats: Standard (0.75 l), Magnum (1.5 l)

Pairings

It enhances with great effort the typical north-european dishes, fatty fishes, mature or blue cheeses, rich truffle-based dishes or, quite simply, it is the perfect wine to end the evening
