Marche Bianco Gli Eremi La Distesa 2022 Magnum

The grapes come from a single vineyard located in the district of San Michele, in the municipality of Cupramontana. It is an exceptional territory for the cultivation of the vine: a natural basin protects it from the coldest winds and exposure to midday raises its daytime temperatures. The soil is clayey, sub-alkaline, strongly calcareous.
The vineyard, about thirty years old, is conducted according to the guyot system. A few buds are left to obtain a yield per hectare of about 50 quintals (about 35 Hl). The cultivation according to a rigid biological method guarantees the maximum expression of the terroir, exalting the minerality and the sapidity of the wine. The wine comes from a selection of only Verdicchio grapes harvested in boxes in three successive steps.
Fermentation and refining take place in oak barrels of average size (550, 750, 1000 lt.) For about a year. The soft pressing enhances the primary scents of hay, sage, mint that evolve towards hints of white peach, mandarin, apricot and finally hazelnut. The permanence in contact with noble yeasts for a year makes the wine soft, full and persistent. The alcoholic strength is balanced by a good acidity which guarantees freshness and cleanliness.
It is a wine that evolves very well in the bottle, reaching its peak three or four years after the harvest. It should be served fresh, better if after a short oxygenation. It can be combined with a wide range of dishes: pasta, risotto, fish, especially if tasty, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
