Mezzavilla Canavese Bianco DOC 2021
“A versatile wine that can be paired with seafood, vegetables, salads, and cheeses.”
Grapes harvested early in the morning to keep the bunches at the lowest possible temperature. Then placed in a cold room of 4°C for at least 7 days to obtain a natural cold maceration.
At the end of the cold storage period, grapes are immediately destemmed and pressed, obtaining the must which will then undergo a natural clarification. The clear must is then fermented at a controlled temperature, initiated with a “pied de cuve” to allow the yeasts to do their work of alcoholic fermentation.
This is followed by a maturation in stainless steel on the fine lees for natural stabilization for about 4 months, giving complexity to the wine. The wine is then bottled and is head for 12 months in bottle before release/sale.
