The Carato sees French oak barrel aging and is a gorgeous expression of vernaccia with a nod to Burgundy with the notes of oak barrel aging integrating perfectly with the wine's fruit and minerality. I love this wine and try to get a few bottles when the new release comes around (along with the Fiore and Templare). Fermentation in wood follows the style of the Templars, giving this white an echo of Burgundy. It becomes a rich white, a nose full of different perfumes of honey, brioche toast, roasted nuts, full in the body and long in the aftertaste.
