VILLA BIANCHI VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI DOC CLASSICO

The name of this wine from the prestigious Umani Ronchi derives from Villa Bianchi, the country house in the heart of the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi region, where the family used to make wine from grapes grown in the surrounding vineyards. Today, Villa Bianchi seeks to express the distinctive qualities of the Verdicchio grape, with its aromatic notes of freshness and elegance. This is achieved through careful selection of the grapes and the use of winemaking techniques that preserve the aromatic heritage of this variety.

Winemaking: after a soft pressing, the free-run must is rapidly cooled and then statically decanted. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a temperature maintained between 14° and 16°C and lasts approximately 8 to 10 days. Subsequently, the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation. All production stages, from harvest to bottling, are carried out under protection or reduction conditions, i.e., in the absence of oxygen, to preserve the primary aromas of the grape and obtain greater organoleptic freshness. This is followed by aging in steel tanks for approximately 4 months.

Alcoholic content: 12.5%

Serving temperature: should be served between 12ºC and 13ºC
