With a glorious copper colour, the amphora-aged Back to Silence has an expressive fragrance of quince and rose petals, spritzed with grapefruit zest and bitter orange. On the palate, there's a whisper of tea-like tannin from the long maceration of the grape skins, superbly-balanced by an abundance of flavour and a long, complex finish. With exposure to air, the aromas turn autumnal, with cider apple, perry pear and medlar. This magnificent wine fine-tunes an ancestral craft with modern precision.

Winemaking
A limited edition, skin-contact white, made in the manner of yesteryear, without mechanical help, hence the name: no machines whirring, just silence. Estate-grown Turbiana, from vineyard plots close to Lake Garda, is harvested late (end October), and then vinified like a red wine, with a month-long skin maceration, followed by mellowing in clay amphoras.
