Bergamasca IGT

 Bergamasca IGT Schiava

This wine is made solely from Schiava Lombarda, a Lombardy and Trentino local variety. Traditionally this variety was used to make a young and fruity wine. The very short maceration used in the winemaking process exalts the fruity character. It’s a modern Rosato style wine, with a coppery colour and a superb perfume of raspberries and cherries. Very mineral and well balanced in the mouth, has a delicate almond aftertaste. Absolutely perfect lunchtime wine.
Grape Variety : Schiava Lombarda.
Vineyard : The grapes for this wine are grown on the slopes of vineyards situated on the hills outside Bergamo.
Vinification : the carefully selected hand harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed as soon as possible after picking.
The juice is left in contact with the skins for 24 hours in order to extract the light red colour, soft tannins and the aromatic compounds. Then fermentation takes place at controlled temperature. The wine spends a relatively long time on the lees prior to bottling, and remains 3 months in bottle before release.
Alcohol : 11,5% Vol.
Closure : synthetic
Bottle Size : 0,75l.
