Planted on granite soil, the vines for this cuvee are planted just above a ledge overlooking the river. Pont Caffino is released every year with an effort to show off its more intense minerality without the dominant yeasty notes that arrive with prolonged aging sur lie. The granite soil seems to make the aromas pop a bit more than schist, and give it a slightly leaner, higher acid texture. The resulting wine shows aromas of green apple and pear pith, along with some stony grip on the finish.
