This structured \u003cstrong\u003eblend combining Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e displays golden reflections and an \u003cstrong\u003eintense aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, with notes of broom, tropical fruit and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warm, perfect for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003efish dishes, shellfish and mature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Collio, between the hills of Gorizia and Oslavia. The vineyards, at around 180 metres above sea level, benefit from excellent exposure and are rooted in the \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive Eocene ponca\u003c\/strong\u003e, a marly soil that gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edeep mineral and savoury character\u003c\/strong\u003e. The mature vines, harvested by hand, ensure \u003cstrong\u003every low yields\u003c\/strong\u003e, guaranteeing a high aromatic concentration and a pronounced sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe artisanal vinification enhances the characteristics of each variety. The Pinot Grigio is pressed to start fermentation with \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the Chardonnay and Sauvignon undergo a \u003cstrong\u003efour-day skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process continues with spontaneous malolactic fermentation and \u003cstrong\u003eageing divided between barrels and steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a slow maturation. The absence of filtration preserves the density and pure expressive intensity of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bianco della Castellada 2018 originates in Oslavia, where the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eEocene ponca\u003c\/strong\u003e nourishes historic vineyards, imparting a profound mineral character. This refined blend of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon is harvested entirely by hand. The skilful \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with a brief maceration on the skins, enhances its intensity; ageing in barriques and the decision to bottle \u003cstrong\u003ewithout filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e ultimately preserve the pure and enveloping essence of the Collio DOC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Castellada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832916340907,"sku":"54791","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/la-castellada-collio-bianco-della-castellada-2018_54791_1_c0fcb310-1393-4c7a-a050-12e84852a1f0.webp?v=1773756527","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/la-castellada-collio-bianco-della-castellada-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
