Zibibbo has a history spanning thousands of years: it has Egyptian origins and after this first long adaptation to the North African coasts, Zibibbo was brought to western Sicily by the Phoenicians and the Greeks, becoming one of the most widespread and interesting varieties of the western Mediterranean around 800-700 aC During the Roman Empire the variety was also exported to other regions of southern Europe. Zibibbo is known in Sicily mainly by its Arabic denomination, Z'bìb, which simply means "raisins".
Grillo is a white grape variety widespread above all in western Sicily. The probable origin lies in what Baron Mendola wrote in 1874: “white Catarratto seed artificially fertilized with Zibibbo in the flowering of 1869 in my Piana dei Peri vineyard near Favara […] . The same wrote also in 1904 "I hybridized the common Catarratto of Sicily […] neck Zibibbo, to be able to make a more aromatic Marsala". The Grillo initially finds its origin in the Marsala area and then in the other provinces of the island. Il Grillo is capable of giving wines with a high alcohol content and then having the vocation of being particularly predisposed to ageing. The best Marsala is obtained by vinifying Grillo.

The perfect statement of the Quadra philosophy. A harmonious encounter between the three main grapes of Franciacorta: Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero from all the estate vineyards.
QSATEN, essence and prerogative of Franciacorta, is characterized by the exclusive presence of white berried grapes and by the lower pressure (4.5 atmospheres instead of 6) compared to the other Franciacortas. The varietal composition, a cuvée of Chardonnay, partially fermented in wood and Pinot Blanc and the more modulated pressure determine the unmistakable "creamy" taste of Satèn.

This wine was born in the vineyards of Villa Broglia, planted in 1989 for the birth of Filippo, Piero's son.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Souvignier Gris is a vine resistant* to fungal diseases, it was created by crossing the Seyval variety with the Zahringer in 1983 in Germany. The bunches of grapes are harvested at the beginning of September, once they reach the cellar they are pressed and the must is left to macerate on the skins for a few days. This gives the characteristic color and enriches the aromatic bouquet. At the end of this process the alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless steel containers. Maturation follows, which for 30% of the mass takes place in new wooden barriques and continues for about six months. This is where the spicy aromas and the particular warm and rich flavor originate. After which the two masses are united again and following the blend is filtered and bottled to then be put on the market after a few months of rest in the bottle. * resistant vine: it is a vine obtained from interspecific crossings aimed at lowering the susceptibility of the plant towards cryptogamic diseases (such as downy mildew and powdery mildew) and low temperatures.

The best Italian white wines
Italy is home to some of the finest white wines. In the Clickwine section of our online wine shop dedicated to the finest Italian white wines, you'll find bottles of excellent white wine carefully selected by our sommeliers.
The designations used in our country to classify wines are DOCG, DOC, and IGT. Sometimes you'll also find designations like DOP and IGP: these acronyms have similar meanings to the previous ones but are used by wineries that primarily sell their wines outside of Italy.
The production of white wine
White wines are produced from both light and dark grapes, but vinified as a white wine: that is, during maceration there is no contact between the must and the pomace, so that the skin – exactly the opposite of what happens with red wines – does not release substances and color.
Its myriad nuances vary according to the characteristics of the grape variety, the aging method and the vine growing 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 brief maceration. Sometimes, however, the grapes are pressed and then macerated with the skins at a low temperature for a varying length of time. This produces richer, smoother wines.
This phase is followed by the clarification of the white wine produced, which can be done by letting the must rest, by cooling, centrifugation or filtration.
Fermentation begins either by adding selected yeast to the must or spontaneously, using the indigenous yeasts present in the grapes. To preserve the aromas, finesse, and freshness of white wines, fermentation is carried out at lower temperatures than red winemaking, generally around 18°C.
To obtain a fresh and lively wine, best drunk young, malolactic fermentation is avoided by bottling early, after filtration and stabilization. More complex wines, aged or fermented in wood, are bottled only after several months in barrel.
How to taste white wine
First, you need to decide whether to uncork the bottle right away or let your white wine age. If you want to immediately succumb to its charm, its aromas of aromatic herbs, flint, or its notes of exotic fruit, then serve your white wine at the right temperature: 6-8°C for a young white and 8-10°C for a softer, more structured wine.
How to pair white wine
Dry white wines will surprise you at the table, too, and not just with their straw-yellow color. As an aperitif, and especially with a fish dish, white wine is definitely a must, but it's not easy to know which of the many labels will be best suited to the occasion.
We recommend pairing white wine with cheeses, whether low-fat, fresh, or rich in milk, such as flavorful buffalo mozzarella, or with soft, bloomy-rind cheeses. They're also perfect with white meats, such as classic scallops, but beyond tradition, white wine also pairs perfectly with meat and risotto dishes, as well as truffles.

White wines: longevity and conservation
How long can I keep white wine in the cellar? Do white wines improve as they age like red wines? These are the questions a wine consumer asks when talking about white wine.
In general, white wines have a much shorter shelf life than red wines, for two reasons: tannins and aging. Tannins are antioxidants present in the wine's skins that aren't present in white wines; as for aging, however, most white wines age in stainless steel for just a few months; even red wines, if they age briefly in stainless steel and undergo rapid maceration, don't last for many years. Let's say a classic white wine aged in stainless steel lasts a maximum of 2 to 3 years. If it undergoes maceration or ages in wood, it can last up to 20 years and improve year after year.
How many types of white wines are there?
There is no exact number of types of white wine, as there are several different white grape varieties that can be used to make white wines. Some of the most common white grape varieties used to make white wines are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Moscato. There are also other less common varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Semillon, and Viognier. Each of these varieties can be used to produce white wines with unique and different characteristics, so there are many different types of white wines available.

Why is it called white wine?
White wine is so called because it is made using white grapes. Most white grapes have transparent or lightly colored skins, so the wine made from these grapes has a light, transparent color. Sometimes the color of white wine can be influenced by the type of grape used, the winemaking process, and the addition of other ingredients, but generally, white wine has a light, transparent color.
