It grows in low shoots on guyot systems at an altitude of 450 m slm level in Pochi di Salorno. The favorable position of the vineyard, the very low yield per hectare and the ideal temperature range between day and night are the prerequisites for bringing these grapes to an ideal ripening.
Peter Zemmer's Riesling is a very captivating white wine from South Tyrol thanks to its subtle acidity and soft roundness. It has a light yellow color with golden reflections. The aromatic spectrum is very broad, with aromas of citrus, lychee, aromatic herbs and white flowers. The sip has a nice texture and roundness. Very fresh and enjoyable.
This wine was born in the vineyards of Villa Broglia, planted in 1989 for the birth of Filippo, Piero's son. These vineyards are located in the municipality of Gavi which, due to their splendid position, allows for the production of high quality grapes. It is a wine characterized by fresh, fruity aromas, with a nuance of white flowers and a characteristic note of almonds. Ideal wine for Mediterranean cuisine.
It is only from the best vintages that this great wine is born, which comes from the vineyards of the Tenuta La Meirana, planted between the years 1952 and 1953, after a selection of the best bunches harvested by hand and transferred to the cellar in wooden boxes. The 2010 harvest was characterized by regular flowering in the first ten days of June and a windy summer with high temperature variations between day and night. These particular conditions gave the wine a great structure, excellent sapidity and intense aromas of flint and almonds. Here, following an aging in small "sur lie" steel tanks for 108 months, our "Vecchia Annata" comes to light.
This wine represents the best production of Meirana. It is obtained from the grapes of old vineyards planted in the years 1953 and 1955. The average yield of the vineyards in the various harvests is from 30 to 40 quintals per hectare. The grapes are harvested in wooden boxes and transferred directly to the presses so that the bunches arrive intact. These, due to their rich structure and acidity, make it possible to obtain a great wine suitable for storage, maintaining its aromas and freshness over the years. The name Bruno Broglia is in honor of the founder of the farm. This selection, recognized as one of the reference white wines, gets important national and international awards every year. It was also served as the only white wine at the Gala dinner, for the G20 in St. Petersburg, in the presence of the greats of the Earth, held on 5 September 2013. Bruno Broglia has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections, brilliant: the bouquet very persistent finish, fruity and reminiscent of the aristocratic scent of the grapes from which it comes. It goes well with both fish-based dishes and shellfish where it brings out the characteristics of haute cuisine better.
The Meirana di Broglia is the most important and representative product of the company's production, a gavi among the most classic and appreciated in the world. La Meirana is not just the name of a wine, it is the main Estate of the Cellar.

The Sauvignon Blanc Bastianich wine best expresses both the winemaking tradition of the young company and the ancient local tradition. The tasting notes are accentuated and enhanced by the aromas of grapefruit, herbs and gooseberries. Fresh and elegant, with good acidity and a refreshing and persistent aftertaste, never sour or grassy.
For the vinification of this wine, 30/40% of the grapes are left to dry in wooden boxes for over a month. The remaining grapes are left on the vine and are then harvested when overripe, when the berries begin to brown and dehydrate naturally. The grapes are destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for 24-28 hours at a temperature of 12°C to allow the wine to accentuate its varietal characteristics and to acquire the golden yellow-amber color typical of this vine . Aging takes place for 60% for 6 months in steel tanks, 40% for 6 months in 300-litre oak barrels and ends with 2-4 months in the bottle.
Straw yellow in colour, it has an intense aroma of green pepper, tomato leaves, passion fruit and peach. It is a wine with a fresh, lively, harmonious and velvety flavour.
After the destemming and crushing, the crushed grapes are cooled immediately at a temperature of 12°C and left in contact with the skins for 12 – 16 hours. In this period of time the natural enzymes of the must allow a release of the aromatic components, linked to the skin, accentuating the structure and the typical varietal characteristics of the vine. After this period, the must is delicately separated from the skins and fermented intact, without clarification, at a controlled temperature for about 14 days.
A small part (25%) is vinified in white; a part about 40% is placed in cold maceration for 36 hours, for a greater extraction of the pink part. For both, a soft pressing and a start with indigenous fermentation then helped halfway through the addition of a small amount of selected yeast to complete the fermentation. The remaining part of the grapes is pressed, cooled to 7 degrees and left to macerate until the indigenous fermentation begins (usually 5 to 6 days). The macerated product is placed in a press and squeezed at minimum pressure, the must thus obtained continues its fermentation in traditional 2nd and 3rd passage barrels, in non-toasted oak with a capacity of 5/7 HL. One month before bottling, the three different vinifications are combined to form a single wine.

Being among the pioneers of Georgian amphora (kvevri) winemaking in Romagna was truly an inspiring privilege for us. Amphorae are a splendid tool: they have proved to be an incredible accelerator and concentrator for the maturation of Albana wine, without however affecting even a single pinch of its varietal profile! And so Vitalba was born in 2013: a successful gamble, now the white "flag" of our company.
The link with tradition and the territory is important, very important, but sometimes the producer's curiosity is the engine of sometimes surprising "experiments"....
On the eve of the 2019 harvest we were on the verge of uprooting the last hectare of our splendid "della flame" Trebbiano vineyard in Petrignone: the commercial response and the market "mood" were too lukewarm (euphemism) towards this vine. But, "rather" than eradicating it, we wanted to make an extreme attempt, and put the maceration experiences acquired with Vitalba to good use and do something new: 25 days of maceration in concrete, a bit of good luck, and, voilà .

The old vineyards of Inzolia planted by my father more than fifty years ago are an extraordinary legacy on which to build the future of viticulture in Belicello.

The soil, mainly calcareous and pebbly, gives the wine an intense and at the same time delicate sapidity, great depth and aromatic breadth.

Son of generous lands, Coste al Vento gives us a full and ripe fruit that blends with the brackish notes brought by the sea winds, in a harmonious crescendo made original by maceration on the skins and fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
Arèmi, one of the four suits with which the gambling cards are painted, as well as the community cards. The coin suit, which has the color of gold and like gold is precious in the game of broom and seven and a half. Catarratto is liquid gold, culuri d'arèmi: intense and brilliant gold that lights up from the sun and the sea of Sicily, full of the millenary history that skilled hands have handed down to us, from generation to generation, from the Greek motherland to the fertile countryside of Memphis. Arèmi is love for the land, respect for knowledge, conscious acceptance of a heritage to be preserved.
By hand, to recover the value of manual work, the care and joy in doing it. By hand, to underline the absolute craftsmanship of the production of a wine made without the aid of machinery, without additives or synthetic oenological products, in which the human component is at least as important as the natural one. Only grapes and hands: in a world where machines and homologation increasingly replace man and his creativity, hands are, perhaps, the thing to which we must return.

The best Italian white wines

The production of white wine
White wines are produced from both light and dark berry grapes, but vinified in white: that is to say that during maceration there is no contact between the must and the marc, so that the skin - exactly the opposite of what it happens for the red - it doesn't give substances and color.
Its myriad nuances vary according to the characteristics of the vine, the refinement method and the vine cultivation area.
In white winemaking, once the grapes have been harvested, they are transported to the cellar, destemmed and pressed and the must is separated without any maceration or with a short maceration. Sometimes, however, the grapes are pressed and then macerated with the skins at a low temperature for a more or less long period. In this way, richer and softer wines can be obtained.
This phase is followed by the clarification of the white product, which can be done by letting the must rest, by cooling, centrifugation or filtration.
Fermentation begins either by introducing selected yeast into the must or spontaneously, with the indigenous yeasts present in the grapes. To maintain the aromas, finesse and freshness of white wines, fermentation is done at lower temperatures than for red wine vinification, generally around 18°C.
To obtain a fresh and lively wine, to be drunk young, malolactic fermentation is avoided, bottling early, after filtration and stabilization. More complex wines, aged or fermented in wood, are bottled only after several months spent in barrels.
How to taste white wine

White wines: longevity and conservation
How long can I keep white wine in the cellar? Do white wines improve like red wines with age? These are the questions that a wine consumer asks himself when speaking of white wine.
In general, white wines are much less long-lived than reds, for two reasons: the tannins and the ageing. Tannins are antioxidant substances present in the skins of wine which are not present in whites; As far as aging is concerned, however, most of the white wines are aged in steel for a few months, even the reds, if they are aged a little in steel and undergo rapid maceration, do not last many years. Let's say that a classic white that ages in steel lasts from 2 to 3 years maximum. If it is macerated or aged in wood, it can last up to 20 years and improve from year to year.
How many types of white wines are there?
