The Grape & Vinification
Proverbi 31 is produced using 100% Vermentino grapes. The grapes are harvested in the first few days of September and subsequently processed with a soft pressing, the must obtained during this process is then fermented at a low temperature of approximately 59 degrees Fahrenheit. After fermentation, the wine is kept on its fine lees for several weeks, which are put back into suspension through bâttonge. Once this short maturation period has passed, the wine is then bottled.
The Name
The biblical verse of Proverbs 31:16 inspired our name for this Vermentino. It says, “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” Perfect as our owner is a woman who used her profits to purchase and create Villa Splendida!
Parings
Proverbi 31 is best enjoyed with poultry, seafood, salads, and citrus based plates. While we strongly encourage it to be savored poolside in the summer, it has the complexity and sophistication to be enjoyed at dinner over appetizers or entrees as well.
Tasting Notes
Proverbi 31 has a bright straw-yellow hue with hints of vibrant green and a rich olfactory profile of white peach, citrus fruits, aromatic herbs and an elegant minerality, which promotes freshness and lingering sapidity on the palate.
