About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Gualdo Cattaneo in the province of Perugia. Early harvesting is favored to retain acidity and freshness and to express the white-wine character of Montefalco.
Grapes
Grechetto and Chardonnay.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed gently at no more than 0.2 bar. After cold settling, the must begins alcoholic fermentation at 12–15°C.
Ageing
The wine matures for three months with weekly bâtonnage. Stainless steel and bottle are used exclusively, preserving the varietal character and freshness.
Tasting profile
Pale yellow. Almond notes mingle with ripe fruit and floral nuances. The palate is fresh and well balanced.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12°C with fish, white-meat dishes or medium-aged cheeses.
Label / history
Grechetto represents the white-wine side of Montefalco. The style is intended to be especially approachable in its youth, while retaining enough personality for a broad range of food pairings.
