That the Trebbiano Spoletino grape is of high enological interest is now a certain fact. It is an ancient vine that has only recently been rediscovered. It can be grown in the territory of Spoleto and Montefalco. In our cellar we have aimed to capture the finer and at the same time intriguing soul of this grape.

Our first hectare, the one from which the history of Pecorino began. The first parent of Colle Vecchio is today dedicated to Guido Cocci Grifoni and to the bottle that bears his name. It is our most recent version of Pecorino, a wine made in a few numbered specimens, in memory of who, where and when. And not to praise or glorify the past, but to photograph a moment of our past that has become present and future. Using descriptors today, for a wine that will have a life of more than ten years, seems almost out of place. Only a few notes therefore, to give a reference, a trace of his first, very young expressions. Among our whites it is certainly the fullest, the most saline, the most present and the softest. It opens with notes of ripe apple and then moves on to intense and fleshy yellow flowers. The aromatic herbs come forward decisively, accompanying a fascinating scent of star anise.

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.

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.
