Reve di Villa Angela - white

Ever since the very beginning of our activity, it was our wish to produce an important white wine in 1980. After a careful clonal selection, we decided to allot a vineyard to Chardonnay. The characteristics of the soil (clayey marl with a substrate rich in pebbles, which make water drainage easier), the adopted system of vine cultivation (untrained vines the "alberello" method, with a high density of plants per hectare and low yield, 3.5-4 tons/ha, with grapes rich in sugar, aroma and extracts)have naturally affected the final result, obtained under the technical guidance of our oenologist, Mr. Romeo Taraborelli. A result which meets our expectations and has required special attention, such as grape selection both on the vines and during harvesting: clusters are hand-picked and immediately chilled to avoid spontaneous fermentation; controlled fermentation takes place in different barriques with different features: Allier, Never, Troncais, Limousin, Slavonja. The final pooling of the contents of the various casks, and the subsequent refinement in the bottle complete our painstaking work: now the wine is ready for your judgement and, hopefully, approval. This is an elegant and vigorous wine, with a luminous yellow colour with a golden hue. Its perfume is complex, pronounced and reminiscent of citrus fruit, vanilla, spices, with a full and wellbalanced flavour. The possible combinations with food are many, thanks to its richness and structure, but its characteristics can be appreciated when not accompanied by food, at a temperature of at least 12°C.
