Costalupo Controguerra Bianco Doc 2022 - Illuminati

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANTS The vineyards are grown partly with the Abruzzo pergola system with 1,100 vines per hectare and partly in rows (counter-espalier) with 5,200 vines per hectare. The exposure is partly north-east and partly south-west. TIME OF HARVEST AND VINIFICATION The grapes for the Costalupo are harvested after a scrupulous selection in the last ten days of September with the exception of the Chardonnay which is harvested earlier, usually at the end of August and beginning of September. The grapes are destemmed, pressed very softly. The must obtained is fermented in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks in order to control the fermentation temperature between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius.
