The 2018 BIANCO RISERVA Abbadessa BIO* by Ansaldi is a still white wine from Sicily, a region rich in winemaking tradition. This DOC wine is made from a blend of Grillo and Zibibbo, cultivated using organic methods in the Abbadessa vineyard, located 155 metres above sea level on medium-textured soil with calcareous characteristics and an ancient layer of peat. The manual harvest and the artisanal care of winemaker Giacomo Ansaldi give this product an authentic territorial identity rooted in the millennia-old history of the area. Vintage: 2018 Alcohol content: 13.5 Winery: Alberello assisted. Harvest/Vintage: Manual in 15 kg crates. Organoleptic notes: White wine, made from a blend of Grillo and Zibibbo. The Abbadessa is the grand cru white Riserva of the Ansaldi Estate, created by the family to indelibly represent the territorial identity of a place that has seen the interplay of man, vine, and wine for several millennia. Produced with biotypes of indigenous grape varieties: Grillo and Zibibbo, selected, cultivated organically, and cared for by the skilled hands of winemaker Giacomo Ansaldi. Soil: Medium-textured, quite deep with a slight presence of gravel. Reddish in colour, fairly calcareous with an alkaline reaction. In depth, it is characterised by the presence of a thin calcareous crust of marine origin, and an important layer of "peat", an ancient soil where the roots settle and find the water resources and macronutrients for good vigour. Altitude: 155 m a.s.l. Vineyard: Vigna Abbadessa Vinification/Aging: Destemming and cold maceration for 8 hours, soft pressing and static clarification of the must. Yield per hectare: approximately 50 q.li/Ha. A wine that expresses with sobriety the elegance and complexity of Sicilian indigenous grape varieties, perfect to accompany fish dishes and white meats. The 2018 BIANCO RISERVA Abbadessa BIO* is a conscious choice for those seeking a quality organic wine that tells the story and character of a unique territory.
