Only the finest grapes, carefully selected from eight different vineyards, are destined for this extraordinary wine. We vinify the varieties separately, including Grechetto, Vermentino, Chardonnay, and a hint of Procanico, and then skillfully blend them to create a wine that celebrates the richness and identity of our terroir. Decugnano’s Il Bianco is an ode to minerality, a perfect balance of freshness and complexity, a synthesis of the extraordinary vocation of our lands.

Harvest takes place in September, carefully following the ripening cycle of the different grape varieties. Each cluster is manually harvested, with care and respect for the delicacy of the fruit, and transported in small crates to preserve its integrity.

Vinification:

Vinification is characterized by a gentle pressing of the grapes, previously cooled to preserve their aromatic qualities. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature of 14°-16°C, for a period of 15-20 days, during which the must slowly transforms into wine, retaining all its freshness and vitality.

After fermentation, we refine the wine for six months in stainless steel containers, where it matures and enriches with aromatic complexity. Subsequently, it rests in the bottle for at least six months before being ready to meet the palate of our most discerning enthusiasts.
