Harvest
In early stages of ripening.
All highly elaborate fish dishes, first dishes with white sauces and cheeses, white meat, mature cheeses, truffle and mushroom based dishes.
Grancasale is produced in the hilly inland of central Le Marche, in a soil of medium consistency with southeast exposure. Clusters, selected and harvested by hand in mid-October, are carried to the cellar in small baskets to keep the grapes intact. Here, the fermentation process is carried out with the cold maceration of the grapes’ skin with its own must (“cryomaceration”). The refining period involves preservation in steel, and a small part in big wooden barrels, for six to eight months, finally in bottles for another 12 months.
Colour: Straw yellow with golden reflections.
Perfume: Persistent citrus aromas, geranium and white peach.
Flavour: Well structured, elegant, harmonious, with fresh fruity and floral aromas in the foreground and scents of yeasts in the background.
