Ceraudo Grisara Bianco 2024

Grisara from the Ceraudo winery is the expression of a territory where organic viticulture is conducted with strict training systems. Roberto Ceraudo, in fact, since 1973, the year in which he purchased the estate and planted new vineyards, wanted to undertake the path of respecting the environment without the use of chemicals. Each vineyard is an ecosystem in itself and guarantees respect for biodiversity. Grisara is a white wine made from 100% Pecorello grapes. This native Calabrian grape has found good vigor and development in these places. The vineyards begin at the top of gentle hills and slowly slope down towards the sea. This is the land of Magna Gracia, where the Greeks brought the first vine shoots. The climate is mild with mild winters and hot summers. The temperature ranges favor the concentration of sugars and good acidity. The Grisara wine, named after the district where the vineyards are located, bears the Val di Neto Bianco IGT designation. The hand-picked grapes take place between mid-August and early September as soon as the sugars are considered to be in good concentration. The grapes are quickly brought to the cellar for soft pressing. This way, the characteristic aromas and scents of the grape variety are preserved. Then, after inoculating the wine with selected yeasts, it is left to ferment in steel vats at a controlled temperature. Once it is deemed ready, it is bottled and aged in glass.
