Vinification
The juice is placed in our thermoregulated cellar’s stainless steel tanks to vinify, a process that takes about 1 month. Then, the wine is kept in contact with the fine lees for over 2 months, so it may develop aromas and bouquet. About 2 months of bottle-aging complete the process before the wine is ready for release.
Food pairings
Wonderful matches with this wine are cured meats, fried snacks, savory pies, and delicate flavors like fresh cheese and white meat dishes.
Sensorial analysis
Straw yellow color with pale green reflections; delicate scent of fruit. Moderately acidic to the palate, with a fine fruity aftertaste.
Grapes
Castello di Corbara has always believed in the potential of Grechetto, and has thus produced this wine in purity since the winery’s beginnings. The biotype of Grechetto has been reproduced and transplanted from old vineyards of over 50 years, in order to preserve its unique characteristics.
Type of soil
The Grechetto vines grow on the western side of the estate, at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level. The soil is of Pliocene origin, rich in clay and silt.
