Viticultural Details: “Corte del Lupo Bianco” is made from grapes harvested in 13 vineyards, whose exposure,
clones and ages ensure the expression of fullness and integrity typical of a white wine
in the Ca’ del Bosco style. The perfect marriage: the fragrance of Chardonnay grapes
and the elegance of Pinot Bianco. In line with the Ca’ del Bosco Method, the grapes are
hand-picked and placed in small crates on which a code is immediately stamped, just
before they are cold-stored. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then
goes through our exclusive “berry spa,” a special whirlpool-like wash for grape bunches,
consisting of three soaking tanks, followed by thorough drying. Only the free-run juice
is used for this wine, about ¼ of which is aged in small oak barrels, used the year before
for Chardonnay. The remaining must is fermented in steel vats. After 8 months of
aging on their lees, without malolactic fermentation, the two fractions are assembled.
The wine is then gravity-bottled, in a most natural manner. Thanks to our innovative
long-nozzle filling tubes, the wine will rise from the bottom without lamination or
shaking, and will not suffer from oxidative stress. No sulfites are added at this stage, to
guarantee integrity and wholesomeness. Finally, each bottle is marked with a unique
code, to ensure traceability.
Food Pairing: Seared scallops, grilled chicken, salads and seafood casserole.
