L'Adelchi

The vines grow on Ponca in the hillside vineyards of the Collio, an Eocene mix of marl and sandstone. After harvesting, the grapes undergo around twelve hours of cold maceration under oxygen protection. Two thirds of the must mature for five months on fine lees in large 27 hl oak casks, with the remainder in stainless-steel tanks. The dry white wine shows wild flowers, Golden Delicious apple and Conference pear, along with citrus, lively acidity, salty spice and a slight mineral note. It has medium body and, according to the producer, can mature for over six years.
