LaPrendina Pinot Bianco Garda DOC
Description: The Azienda AgricolaLaPrendina was acquired in 1958 and at first the wines were sold under the Cavalchina brand. The first wine to use the name of LaPrendina was a Merlot bottled in 1980 for Gualtiero Marchesi, but it was only in 1990 that the wines were sold under the name LaPrendina. An excellent varietal, but often rather temperamental to cultivate, it produces a wine that is medium bodied and with a fresh, clean flavour.The grapes are picked during the early part of September, pressed and the must is fermented at 18 0 C for about two weeks. Next the wine is taken off the lees and there is no malolactic fermentation. Finally, it is bottled in December to retain its freshness and released from the beginning of January. In the vineyard LaPrendina aims to grow full flavoured concentrated grapes while the task in the cellar is to express the nature of the grape and terroir. This has produced an absolutely delicious blend of citrus fruit and balancing acidity that shows just how good the Pinot Bianco variety can be. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £118.40
