Tormaresca Pietra Bianca Castel del Monte DOC 2019 (1x75cl)

BLEND  Chardonnay and Fiano  Selected grapes from the estate’s proprietary vineyards in the township of Minervino Murge (province of BAT) VINTAGE Winter, characterized by mild weather which gave an early impulse to the onset of the growing season compared to the immediately previous vintages, saw a bud break which took place in the month of March. The spring of 2017 was marked by above average tempe rainfall while constant peak temperatures during the months of July and August and continuous near-drought conditions created severe stress in the vineyards. Techniques of vineyard management assisted the vines to overcome this period of thermal stress, and a well conceived cultivation of the soil and a careful management of the leaf canopy enabled the full quality potential of the grapes to be brought out. The picking of the 2017 Chardonnay began on August 7th, ten days earlier than in the previous vintage, while the harvest of the Fiano was concluded by August 24th. The harvest took place during the night and the early hours of the day in order to properly defend the aromas of the grapes from oxidative processes TASTING NOTES Color a golden yellow with greenish highlights Aroma  Rich and ample, the wine shows toasty notes well integrated with sensations of both white and citrus fruit along with hints of broom, sweet spices, and vanilla Flavor  Pleasurably intense, balanced, and long, the savory and mineral notes fuse with the balanced and elegant flavors of ripe fruit.
