Santa Cristina - White Umbria IGT 2022 cl75
|
Description |
From the vineyards in the land of Umbria, a historic region dedicated to the production of white wines, comes a wine with a marked freshness, minerality and pleasantness. The 2022 vintage was characterized by a generally cold climate during the winter, which prolonged the vine's rest period, accumulating a delay in the growth phases starting from the budding, which occurred 2 weeks later than the average for the period. A slightly rainy but at the same time cool May, and a summer with sunny days characterized by a good temperature range between day and night, allowed the plants to partially recover the accumulated delay and to best start the grape ripening process. |

| Winemaking and Refinement | The grapes were vinified separately, following the ripening times of each variety. After destemming and soft pressing, the must was cooled to a temperature of 10 °C, in order to promote its natural clarification. The alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature no higher than 17 °C in stainless steel tanks; here the wine was stored at a temperature of 10 °C until bottling, which took place starting from January 2023. |
