Pecorino - Controguerra Bianco Doc

The Pecorino grapes are harvested by hand, after a meticulous selection, in the second ten days of September according to the climatic conditions. They are de-stemmed, pressed in a very soft way; the must obtained is statically decanted and left to ferment in a stainless steel tank at a controlled temperature of 16-18 degrees centigrade. About 10% of the must ferments in barriques where it remains for 4 months in order to release a moderate “boisè” which gives it characteristics of finesse.
