WHITE WINE “ORGANICO”

HARVEST 2015

 

“Organico” white wine is produced from the grapes of some old small vineyards located in different areas of Supersano, in the Lecce province, at the foot of a plateau locally called “Madonna of Coelimanna”.

The vineyards have been recovered from abandonment and restored to a microbiological equilibrium, respecting the organic agriculture principles, and they are trained using the traditional “gobelet” technique. The average production is between 20 and 30 quintals per hectare.

Blend: 60% white Trebbiano, 35% white Malvasia and in very small quantities (5%) white Alessano and white Bombino.

Vinification: soft maceration on the skins and soft pressing at a controlled temperature. The pre-fermentation is done at a temperature of 10°C in order to have natural decantation. After pouring it out, the fermentation is done for 10 days at a temperature of 10°C.

Aging Technique: aging in a stainless steel tank for a 6 months period, and for additional 3 months in bottles.
