Cadùceo Montemercurio Organic 2021

Cadùceo Montemercurio organic white wine, is the fruit of the land and vineyards that are part of the Montepulciano area, revaluing what used to be types of white grapes that had been lost over the years, which is why this wine was born. Produced only with grapes indigenous and typical of the area that give life to a white wine with a traditional and unmistakable flavour. A wine that through its freshness and structure is able to express its full personality, thanks to the careful and innovative steps taken in the cellar. Cadùceo Montemercurio, is produced from Canaiolo Bianco, Malvasia Bianca, Pulcinculo and Trebbiano Toscano grapes. The average age of the vineyards is 50 years, and they are located at approx. 450 m above sea level with south-west exposure for a yield per hectare of 30 quintals. Here we can find mainly hilly, medium-textured soil with a good presence of clay.

Vinification
The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and left in cryomaceration for at least 12 hours in contact with the skins to favour aromatic extraction, after which the clarified must is fermented in 10 hl French oak barrels at a temperature of 16-18 °C.

Refinement
The wine rests for at least 6 months in steel in contact with the fermentation yeasts before being bottled, with batonnage every 20/30 days. After bottling, the wine matures for at least 3 months.
