TASTING NOTES
Elle is the most representative wine of Laura De Vito's estate. The vineyards grow between 500 and 600 m asl in the municipality of Lapio, in the province of Avellino. The grapes that contribute to the production of Elle are selected from all the winery's vineyards, and the percentage of grapes from the various plots varies according to the vintage, in an effort to have a product that is as representative and consistent over time as possible. This also explains the origin of the name: Elle as the initial of Lapio. Harvesting of the Fiano grapes generally starts the second week of October, completely by hand, and the bunches are immediately brought to the winery and gently pressed. Fermentation in thermoregulated steel tanks is followed by a long maturation, again in steel, of 9 months. Once bottled Elle remains in bottle for a subsequent aging of at least 15 months before release. This wine is characterized by typical scents of linden, pear, hazelnut, mint and mountain herbs that are gracefully enhanced thanks to the long aging.
