Vipra Bianca is produced from Grechetto and Chardonnay grapes from Umbria, vinified with a slow fermentation of about 3 weeks in steel tanks at a carefully controlled temperature. The new wine continues to develop in steel for several months before it is bottled. The wine has a pale gold, bright colour with green tints. It has a full, delicate bouquet of fresh almonds and acacia with citrus notes and is notable for its rich, fresh, soft and balanced flavour. Vipra Bianca was born with the 2006 vintage.
