Pinot Blanc Vulpes Alba – Azienda Del Poggio – 2020

The Pinot Blanc Vulpes  Albaof the Del Poggio winery

The classic Pinot Blanc Vulpes  alba of the Del Poggio winery is part of the Vulpes line; this line takes its name from the stream that crosses the property and recalls the presence of the typical animals of the Friulian hills, the foxes.

The winery cultivates its vineyards following the voluntarily integrated production specification of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, which aims to minimize technical means that impact the environment and promote a natural environmental balance.

THE WINEMAKING

The grape harvest is strictly manual and takes place in September when the grapes are slightly overripe. Once in the cellar, the winemaking starts with the soft pressing of the grapes; after a few hours of contact with the skins, the must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages on the lees for six months with frequent batonnage. After bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.
