This \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e combines the aromatic qualities of Moscato Giallo, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer with the structure of Nebbiolo vinified as a white wine. The vinification, carried out in both steel and terracotta vats, creates a distinctly floral profile. On the palate, the pronounced \u003cstrong\u003esaline minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e merges with a slight natural sweetness, offering a harmonious sip. The result is a glass with vibrant \u003cstrong\u003egustatory tension\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfect for pairing with sushi, goat’s cheese and spicy dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the Rhaetian Alps, from \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e situated at around five hundred metres above sea level. The Moscato Giallo, Sauvignon Blanc and Nebbiolo grapes grow in the Castelasc area, in the municipality of Chiuro, while the Gewürztraminer is cultivated in the territory of Traona. The meeting of these different \u003cstrong\u003egrowing areas\u003c\/strong\u003e defines a precise identity. The aromatic richness developed in this mountain microclimate blends harmoniously with the \u003cstrong\u003esavouriness of the land\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by the contribution of Nebbiolo, resulting in a profile that faithfully reflects the soil of Lombardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with gentle pressing of Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc, while Moscato Giallo undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003ebrief maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e to maximise aromatic extraction. The main fermentation takes place through targeted \u003cstrong\u003evinification in terracotta amphorae\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Nebbiolo vinified as a white wine is then added, essential for providing body and mineral drive. The final \u003cstrong\u003eageing in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves the integrity of the floral aromas, resulting in a wine with a savoury, complex and well-balanced texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castelàsc Bianco 2024 by La Spia is a refined Alpi Retiche IGT, produced at an altitude of 500 metres from a blend of aromatic grapes and Nebbiolo vinified as a white wine. The distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta amphora vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with a brief maceration on the skins of \u003cstrong\u003eMoscato Giallo\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives the wine structure and complexity. On the palate, it releases a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003esaline minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfectly balanced by a slight sweetness and an intense floral texture, making it the ideal glass to elegantly accompany sushi, goat's cheese and spicy dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Spia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46388081590443,"sku":"60955","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/la-spia-alpi-retiche-bianco-catelasc-2024_60955_1_a66cdc81-2b0b-488c-a0d4-b2cde27a500e.webp?v=1776676558","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/la-spia-alpi-retiche-bianco-catelasc-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
