Vanedda Bianco Cortese - 1319, 2017

Vanedda is produced from two classic white Sicilian varieties fermented on their skins (unusual for white winemaking) with techniques that were used to make wines in years gone by. The result is a wine with lots of personality – aromas of yellow fruits, buttery coconut oak with cooked pineapple fruit flavours on the palate. It has a refreshing acidity with some phenolic pithy character adding length. Grapes were hand harvested into small baskets and chilled for 24 hours. After careful de-stemming, the juice fermented on skins for several days was then run into large oak botti.
