BIANCO DI PITIGLIANO
denominazione di origine controllata
Grapes: Trebbiano 70%, Sauvignon 15%, Greco 10%, altre 5%
The grapes come from our vineyards in Sovana, and are grown on spurs and guyots, on tuffaceous soils.
Grapes are picked and selected manually; they are then made into wine separately. The pressed grapes with their peel undergo cold maceration for about 12 hours. A small part of the grapes ferments in new barriques; the other part ferments in steel at a controlled temperature of about 16°. At the end of the fermentation process, wine is left on yeasts for about 1 month and is then finally assembled. It is placed on the market after 2 months of bottle refinement.
This wine has an intense, straw yellow colour, with a fresh menthol, white fruit and flower fragrance, salty mineral notes emerging after areation. It is dry and full-bodied and has a long persistence.
