Availability:4 In Stock
VERDICCHIO 100% SOIL: LIMESTONE AND CLAY/MARL AND SAND
The wine “Tenuta del Cavaliere” is a still white wine vinified with 100% Verdicchio grapes. The harvest is slightly delayed and fermentation, which lasts at least a month and a half, is slightly delayed to inhibit and the delay malolactic fermentation.
VINIFICATION AFTER A LIGHT PRESSING, THE PRIME MUST IS RAPIDLY CHILLED AND THEN GOES THROUGH STATIC DECANTATION. VINIFIED USING THE “COLD‐SOAK” TECHNIQUE, (A PROCESS WHICH FAVORS AND OPTIMISES EXTRACTION OF THE VARIETAL CHARACTER).
FERMENTATION: IN STEEL TANKS TEMPERATURE‐CONTROLLED TO BETWEEN 16° AND 18°C, TAKES 10‐15 DAYS. THE WINE, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART DOES NOT UNDERGO A MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION, IS AGED IN STEEL FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS SUR LEES. IT IS BOTTLED AT THE END OF MARCH AND THEN REMAINS AGAIN IN BOTTLE FOR SOME MONTHS.
COLOR: PALE STRAW WITH GREEN OVERTONES
NOSE: INTENSE FLOWERY BOUQUET WITH COMPLEX FRUITY CHARACTER.
PALATE: FRESH, ELEGANT AND WELL BALANCED, INTENSE FRUITY CHARACTER WITH NOTES OF ALMOND, LONG BITTER FINISH.
