La Savante
La Savante or "The Scholar" in the feminine, pays homage to the scholarly women, who can be feminine and serious at the same time, like this wine.
Wine Production
Clone 115 is fermented with 20% whole clusters and indigenous yeast in a 600L oak roll-fermentor, and clone 777 is fermented with 50% whole clusters and indigenous yeast in small 500L stainless-steel tanks. Punch-down extraction is done by hand. 7-10 days of maceration with malolactic fermentation in the barrel.
Tasting Notes
This vertical wine is feminine and serious, with minerality, spicy red fruits, and an earthy character. Domaine Nico La Savante displays aromas of red fruits, earthy thyme, rosemary, and sweet spices such as clove. It has medium-high acidity, low alcohol, and a slight minerality alongside integrated oak and layered tannins.
Food Pairing
Domaine Nico La Savante pairs well with ravioli with tomato sauce, polenta with peperonata, or bibimbap.
