Burlotto Gian Carlo Cascina Massara Verduno Pelaverga 2023 750ml

Sustainable. 100% Pelaverga Piccolo. Hailing from three vineyard sites in the village of Verduno: Silio (southeast at 280 m. a.s.l.), Campasso (east at 250-300 m. a.s.l.), and Neirane (east at 210 m. a.s.l.). Planted on chalky white, rather sandy soils. Utilizing the espalier training system with Guyot pruning, the vineyards range in age from 10 to 35 years old. The planting density is 4,200 vines per hectare and yields are 90 quintals per hectare. Harvested in mid-September. The grapes are crushed and left in contact with their skins for eight days in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks in which temperatures are not allowed to exceed 25°C. Delicate pumpovers ensure that enough oxygen is introduced to ensure the must is well blended while stimulating the fermentative and enzymatic processes thus favoring the development of aromas.
