Bianco di nera semi-sparkling wine - 2023

Bianco di nera – Organic semi-sparkling wine

Bianco di Nera is a blend of Nero Cappuccio, Chardonnay, and Inzolia, cultivated in certified organic vineyards that are over 10 years old. The vineyards are situated in organic and fairly deep clay soil, providing a favorable habitat for these grapes. Hand-harvested in late August and mid-September, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and maturation in steel for about 4 months. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in an autoclave (Martinotti system) to enhance its aromas and softness.

It presents a beautiful pale straw yellow color with green reflections. The bouquet is rich and captivating, with notes of green apple and white pear joining light spicy hints and aromatic vegetal nuances. On the palate, Bianco di Nera is fresh and creamy, revealing excellent sapidity and drinkability. Despite its freshness, this wine boasts an alcohol content of 12% vol.
