White wine
Formica Gialla
This wine is made from 80% Malvasia di Candia grapes and 20% Trebbiano grapes from our estate-owned vineyards ranging in age from 35 to 45 years. The grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation takes place in small vats with twice-daily punching down of the cap. The must ferments on the skins for 4-5 days. Then, it is pressed in a press and aged in stainless steel tanks.
All our wines are made with the least possible intervention.
Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts; we do not filter, clarify, or control the temperature of our wines. We add very little sulfites, well below legal limits. We follow the lunar phases for racking and bottling.
