Bianco delle Crete IGT Marca Trevigiana
Variety
50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Bianco.
Soil and vineyards
Clayey soil, rich in mineral salts; planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare, with Guyot pruning, for a limited yield per hectare.
Harvest
Manual harvesting in the first and second weeks of September.
Vinification and ageing
The manual harvest begins once the grapes have reached the optimum levels of total acidity and sugars; they are then destemmed and undergo a short period of cold maceration. The fermentation of the must is then carried out at a controlled temperature (18°C), in stainless-steel tanks. The wine remains on its yeasts, in stainless-steel tanks, until the spring. After in-bottle ageing for at least 6 months, the wine is ready to be released onto the market.
Maturation potential
Complete maturation is reached after 10-12 months of in-bottle ageing.
Tasting notes
Slightly pale, straw-yellow colour; the subtle aromatic bouquet recalls honey, ripe yellow apple and white meadow flowers; dry, rounded, full-bodied and well-balanced palate.
