Vino da Tavola, ‘Dinavolo
25% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo, and 25% yet-unknown varietal
This blend comes from 28 year old vines grown on the highest portion of Giulio’s sloping, calcareous vineyards. All destemmed fruit first goes into a steel tank, left to macerate for 10 months and ferments for one to three weeks while on the skins. There are seven to eight pump-overs per day to agitate, and only natural yeast is used. The wine is then transferred to older oak barrels for three months to age. In total, about four months are spent on the skins, with minimal amounts of sulfur added at bottling.
