Serego Alighieri Possessioni Bianco

The Garganega and Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested and vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (12-16°C). Selected yeasts are used for this process. The Sauvignon is off-skin vinified for 15-18 days, but the Garganega has about 12 hours on-skin contact before a fermentation which lasts about 20-22 days. The Sauvignon finishes its fermentation in barriques, where it then remains for 2 months before being blended with the tank-fermented Garganega.

Sourced from the Serego Alighieri vineyards in Gargagnago di Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. The soil is composed of compact red sediment, with sufficient humus, over Eocenic limestone. The peculiarities of this kind of alluvial soil, together with a microclimate which is influenced by the cool temperatures of the basin of the river Adige, make for ideal growing conditions for the production of white wines.

Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Typical Sauvignon Blanc aromas on the nose, accompanied by a bouquet of fresh fruit. Good supporting acidity on the palate: long lasting and well integrated with a long, dry finish.

Perfect as an aperitif. Recommended also with starters, light summer dishes, fish, pizza, cold cuts and poultry. Recommended drinking temperature 10-12° C (50-56° F).
