Grapes for this blend are grown in Bertani’s southeast-facing Ciusa vineyard, located at an altitude of 150-200 meters above sea level. The soil is of lava-basaltic origin. During the day, the vines benefit from the warmth of the sun; cool nights will ensure an enhanced aroma. The vines are grown on a trellis system: spurring cordon, 4000 vines per hectare for Pinot Grigio, and 8000 vines a hectare for Sauvignon Blanc.

Wine maker notes

The two varietals are vinified separately, a brief cold maceration for Sauvignon Blanc and pressing of the entire grape for Pinot Grigio. Normal fermentation is around 68°F. The two wines are then blended in January and the new wine then transferred to stainless steel containers, where it remains on its lees until early summer. The wine is then bottled and spends a further three months in Bertani’s cellars prior to release.
