Long, persistent, complex finish.
Vinification of Braide Alte Bianco Delle Venezie IGT by Livon
This award-winning white wine is produced as Gran Cru. The grapes for this cuvée grow in the Braide vineyard near Ruttars in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio in eastern Friuli, on clayey marl soils of oceanic origin. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Picolit and Moscato Giallo are vinified for this Gran Cru. The grape harvest is carried out exclusively by hand, the grapes are placed in small crates in the wine cellar and cold macerated in the horizontal press for eight hours, the must is then clarified by natural decantation. The subsequent fermentation takes place entirely in French Allier barriques at a controlled temperature of 14° - 16°C, after which the wine is aged in the same barrels for eight months at a constant temperature. Once the cuvée has been formed from the various wines, it is bottled and matured, harmonising over a long period in the bottle before being sold.
The Gran Cru Braide Alte can be stored for 10 to 15 years.
