Pinot Bianco, a vine that has found its perfect location in the Valle dei Laghi.
A land of fluvial origin, with a strong presence of gravel and transported sand
from the river Sarca, rich in skeleton, characterized by a perfect balance
between the water and the wind that blows daily in the valley.
Mild climate, with good temperature range between day and night,
perfect for creating a Pinot Bianco like this one.
A deep wine, distinctly mineral, capable of recalling the archaic soil where its grapes grow, one of the cornerstones of the Valle dei Laghi.
Delicate, precise, mineral almost as a reminder of the capital that borders the vineyard, a witness to the history and culture of these places.
Grape variety
Pinot Bianco in purity, when the white of Burgundy meets the symmetry of the Valle dei Laghi.
Vineyards
a vineyard just under 10 years old, still young but able to give its best, located at 250m above sea level on a gravelly and sandy soil of glacial origin, which creates a distinctly mineral wine.
Harvest
from the beginning to mid-September, carefully following the climatic and vegetative trends of the year, manual harvesting and selection of the grapes.
Vinification & refinement
shortly after the soft pressing of the grapes, the must is partly divided into steel where it undergoes a short fermentation with cold maceration, in terracotta amphorae where it remains in contact with the skins for the next 7 months. After this phase, the different parts are assembled and then further refined in steel until bottling, more than 10 months after the harvest. A few months of bottle aging follow, to obtain a perfect organoleptic balance.
Organoleptic characteristics
intense straw yellow with golden hues. With a delicate, harmonious, mineral scent. The fruit recalls cedar, apple, kiwi with a hint of white flowers, hawthorn and flint. A light spicy note accompanies and completes the picture. A precise entry into the mouth, with a fresh, savory and pleasantly balanced palate, surrounded by fruity and floral scents with mineral hints. A long, persistent finish that leaves great freshness and balance.
Tasting & Pairing
it is recommended to serve in medium-sized glasses at 8-10°C. An excellent accompaniment to appetizers based on white fish, shellfish, risotto with aromatic herbs and lake fish such as trout and char, delicate white meats, fresh and medium-aged cheeses.
Aging
from 3 to 5 years, to be drunk fresh but also after a short time in the bottle, to appreciate its evolution even more.
