ANGARANO BIANCO VESPAIOLO
AVAILABLE YEAR: waiting for 2011
HISTORY OF THE WINE: Angarano Bianco di Villa
Angarano is the fruit of the blending of Vespaiola grape,
a historical grape species in the Bassano wine-making
tradition. The plots dedicated to this wine are located on
the farm's eastern slopes at a height of around 200 m
a.s.l. on soil with excellent exposure and attitude. The
difference in temperature between day and night promotes
the preservation of the varietal features of this species of
grape, unique in its kind. The soils vaunt Medium texture
with alluvial deposits. Over the years, the farm has
reproduced and transplanted the old biotypes of its
species of white grape species in order to maintain the
characteristics of type and uniqneness. The tending of
the plots is supervised during all the phenol phases with the application of all the procedures for a
limited, high-quality production. The grapes are harvested in the third ten days of September. The
wine is made in steel containers. Alcoholic fermentation continues for approx. two months at
controlled temperature. Once winemaking has been completed, the wine is maintained in contact
with the fine lees for over 4 months in steel. This is followed by the draining of the lees and further
treatments at cellar level.
