Description
Details of wine
The only international grape variety used by the company is the Chardonnay which mixed with Carricante gives rise to this persuasive white, the Valcanzjria.
At 400 m above sea level from the Muti vineyard in the Canzeria valley, the vines mentioned above are bred according to biological dogmas.
The manual harvest is performed in mid-September. The grapes are vinified in steel tanks, where they stay briefly. The wine is bottled in the spring following the harvest, after malolactic fermentation, and left to refine for a few months in the bottle before being placed on the market.
Thanks to the daily temperature ranges this wine benefits from a particular freshness that makes it perfect for any fish dish.
