Maremma Toscana ANSONICA DOC Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano

Ansonica is a Tuscan white wine made exclusively from Ansonica grapes: the vineyards are located at an altitude of 90 metres above sea level, on sandy, silt-rich soils. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe towards the end of September from vines with an average age of 15 years; They are then stored for 7-8 days in a ventilated cellar at 10°C, half of which are destemmed and fermented with the skins, and half of which are processed in a closed press where they macerate for 12 hours. The grapes are then gently pressed to extract the free-run juice, which is left to settle for 72 hours at a controlled temperature. Fermentation is started using selected yeasts and after about a week the two halves are combined. Ageing takes place in steel for 3 months on the fine lees.
