Product description
This fresh, accessible white wine from Castello di Grumello comes from the heart of Valcalepio, where the vineyards lie on Marly limestone soils with a south to south-west exposure at 200-300 metres altitude. The mild climate between Bergamo and Lake Iseo provides ripe fruit while maintaining tension, giving this wine its lively, drinkable style.
The blend consists of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Grigio. The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. Gentle pressing of whole bunches is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation at 16-18 °C in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 4 months sur lie with bâtonnage, giving extra texture and length. After bottling, the wine rests for another 1-3 months in bottle before it is released on the market.
In the glass, the wine is fresh and expressive, with aromas of tropical fruit and citrus. The 2022 vintage shows clear notes of pineapple and grapefruit, with a savoury, slightly balsamic finish and a subtle hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is juicy and supple, with a long, flavourful finish that invites the next glass.
Wine purchased via Onwine comes directly from the winery. All wineries pack the bottles themselves and hand them over to our shipping partner. Onwine works with boxes the size of 6 or 12 bottles.
To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
The following shipping costs apply:
6 bottles at the same winery: €6,-
12+ bottles at the same winery: No shipping costs
You can order from several wineries at the same time. The above shipping costs apply to each individual winery.
