About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Gronda comes from the restoration of several centuries-old vineyards. The vines average 50 years of age and grow in clay soils dominated by calcareous marl. The vineyard covers around 1 ha, planted at 4500 vines per hectare, with an average yield of 35 hl. Since the first day of the Calafata cooperative, the vineyards have been farmed exclusively according to biodynamic principles, with ICEA certification, supported by other Lucchese companies that now form the LuccaBioDinamica network.

Grapes

Malvasia, Moscato Bianco, Trebbiano and Vermentino.

Vinification

The wines are made by hand, respecting tradition and terroir. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then given a short maceration in steel vats. The juice is then transferred and ferments spontaneously.

Ageing

The wine ages in stainless steel vats for around 6 months.

Tasting profile

Fresh, lively and confident, easy to drink, with a savory finish. It is versatile and clearly expresses its terroir.

Serving and pairing

Suited to any dish and any time of year.

Label / history
