Winemaker Sara Gallina explains that in order to \"solve the problem\" of Grechetto, her grandparents' generation would employ other local varieties. Here, the tannins of Grechetto are balanced by the aromatics and freshness of the Malvasia and Trebbiano. An homage to her grandparents, Sara chose to use the original label from the estate (which we love!). Beyond the historic context, the wine is fascinating and delicious! A very light amber hue in the glass, with subtle texture and floral aromatics. The marriage of the three varieties is perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from the Montecorneo website:\u003c\/strong\u003e We have always produced grapes from this vineyard for our house passito wine, because its fortunate hillside location encourages the development of the Botrytis Cinerea fungus. The Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes are harvested in mid-September and left to macerate for a couple of days to allow for a fermentation boost. The Grechetto, the lower part, is harvested and pressed immediately. The grapes ferment and age in stainless steel. Bottling takes place the following spring and wine is kept at least a year in the bottle before being released for sale. This vineyard still has a fresh air, despite its age, so we invested three years in its restoration, together with our friends at the Lumiluna winery, and today we also vinify it as a dry version. The label was the original one from our grandfather Guido, from the 1980s, with which he sold demijohns of wine and wine by the liter. A story within a story, which still resonates with us today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fruit of the Vines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48056673403105,"sku":"30950","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/MontecorneoSAndrea.jpg?v=1772912651","url":"https:\/\/chambersstwines.com\/products\/montecorneo-2022-bianco-di-s-andrea-igt-umbria-bianco","provider":"Chambers Street Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
