A wine with a great personality, with an intense yellow color. Aromas of exuberant bouquet of citric fruits and bananas is accompanied by savory notes of wood. Full bodied, with a good acidity and well integrated alcohol level. Taste is with layered notes of melon, pineapple and lime. Tones with caramel and vanilla notes on the finish.
History
Winemaker Mihai Banita use a combination of old world winemaking techniques and modern technology to make wines that reflect the unique characteristics of individual vineyards or ”terroir” where specific varietals grow best. The fusion of superb vineyard sites and thoughtful winemaking allows LacertA to deliver elegant, expressive wines.
Vinification
Grapes are picked only by hand, after manual sorting. They are then de-stemmed and crashed going direct in the press to separated the juice from the skins. In stainless-steel we controlled the temperature, set-up 16-18℃ after starting the alcoholic fermentation between 14-20 days. This wine was aging 6 months in new barrique, French and Romanian oak. As the grape extracts it is aroma from the territory where it is grown and can taste significantly diverse, ranging from clean and zesty to buttery, rich wines.
