2022 Ampeleia Bianco de Ampeleia

Bianco di Ampeleia represents a revival of Tuscany's traditional co-planted vineyard method, where Trebbiano Toscano (90%), Ansonica (5%), and Malvasia Bianca (5%) grow interspersed in the same parcels. The estate grafted cuttings from a neighbor's old vineyard of local Trebbiano biotype, planting between 2013-2016 at elevations of 300-600 meters in varied soils between Ampeleia di Mezzo and Ampeleia di Sopra. First produced in 2016, the varieties are co-harvested in mid-September at 50-55 hl/ha yields and co-fermented in concrete vats with 7-10 days of skin contact, creating a light golden to amber hue. The wine ages on lees for 6 months in large concrete tanks, expressing the Maremma territory's identity through this harmonious field blend approach where different varieties coexist to create harmony from diversity.
