The wine is a blend of grapes harvested in two steps; the first enhances freshness and aromatics, while the second tranche imparts structure. The grapes were hand-picked, carefully sorted, crushed, destemmed, and cooled to 14°C before gently pressing. The must was cool-settled at 8°C before fermentation with selected yeasts, which lasted for three weeks in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the two wines were skilfully blended before being aged for four months in stainless steel tanks.

Winery | The Ippolito 1845 Greco Bianco grapes come from the Feudo and the Difesa Piana vineyards, two renowned viticultural areas in the Ciro Marina, located in the southern tip of Italy. Both vineyards are close to the beach, where coastal breezes influence the warm and sunny vineyards. The vines are trained on the traditional espalier system at a density of 5,600 plants per hectare. The soils in each vineyard differ slightly: the soil in the Feudo vineyard is deep, alluvial, and of medium texture, while the soil of the Difesa Piana vineyard is sandy loam. The distinctive soil types and the proximity to the sea produce a wine with fresh and juicy fruit and a saline mineral note on the finish. The vines are cultivated according to organic and sustainable principles, and the grapes are manually harvested in early September. |
