HOME | CASTELLO DI LIMIGIANO – BENEDETTI&GRIGI | EROS – MONTEFALCO DOC GRECHETTO
Our finest Grechetto. Structured and elegant, straw yellow in colour with golden reflexes. Its delicate bouquet evokes white fruit and meadow flowers. Fresh and lively with a soft finish, in which almond notes, characteristic of this grape variety, are well-balanced.
Grown at an altitude of 400 m. Both grechetto clones G5 and G109 are grown in clay-rich soil at a density of 4000 plants per hectare, according to the guyot method. Production yield is around 8 tons per hectare.
Grapes are hand picked in the earliest hours of the day at sunrise and taken to the cellar where they are refrigerated for 24 hours in a cell. They are delicately de-stemmed to ensure they remain as intact as possible. Then they are cryomacerated for 16 hours at a low temperature, before being lightly pressed. The resulting must is fermented in steel barrels at a low temperature to conserve its aromas. After fermentation, it is left to age in steel barrels with its fine lees, until bottling.
In the bottle for at least 2 months.
12° - 13°
Excellent as an aperitif, goes well with medium aged cheese and charcuterie starters or country pies. Also suitable for serving with elaborate first courses, as well as fish or white meat.
