Vernora Bianco IGT

The vines grow near Castel San Pietro at the foot of Monte Generoso on calcareous, mineral-driven soil. The wine is directly pressed and briefly macerated. Spontaneous fermentation is documented for the cuvée; part of the ageing takes place in second-use French oak, and part in old concrete tanks, in both cases on the lees without racking. The style is fresh and lively, with fine fruit and an approachable character. The wine is bottled without filtration or clarification. The winemaking details come from a description of Vernora Bianco; for the 2024 vintage, the retailer states 12,5 Vol.-% and sulphites.
