Valcalepio DOC Bianco

Valcalepio Bianco is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot bianco and Pinot Grigio. In the glass it shows a deep yellow colour with pale green highlights and lovely long lasting ‘legs’. Full flavoured and appealingly aromatic, with depth and complexity on the palate, this wine combines savoury dry flavours with pleasing fruitiness and clean, spicy, finish.
The remarkably persistent aftertaste makes it a perfect match for all pasta dishes, poultry and grilled fish.
Grape Variety : 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Bianco and 30% Pino Grigio.
Vineyard : The grapes for this wine are grown on the vineyards slopes situated on the hills outside Bergamo. We selected several vineyards where the growers reduced the crop significantly.
Vinification : the carefully selected hand harvested grapes are crushed, de-stemmed and soft pressed as soon as possibile after picking. The juice is chilled immediately and naturally settled in order to retain freshness and to preserve the subtle perfumes.
Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
The three different varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio are vinified separately, as soon as the fermentation is finished the blend is made. The wine then spends a relatively long time on the lees prior to bottling, and remains 3 months in bottle before release.
Alcohol : 12% Vol.
Closure : cork
Bottle Size : 0,75l and 0,375l.
