TASTING NOTES
Elle is the most representative wine of Laura De Vito's estate. The vineyards grow between 500 and 600 metres above sea level in the municipality of Lapio, in the province of Avellino. The grapes that contribute to the production of Elle are selected from all the estate's vineyards and the percentage of grapes from the various plots varies according to the year, in an attempt to have a product that is as representative and constant over time as possible. Harvesting of the Fiano grapes generally starts in the second week of October, completely by hand, and the bunches are immediately taken to the cellar and gently pressed. Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks is followed by a long maturation, again in steel, of 9 months. Once bottled, Elle remains in the bottle for at least 15 months before release. This wine is characterised by typical scents of lime, pear, hazelnut, mint and mountain herbs, which are gracefully enhanced by the long ageing process.
