Pigato Cycnus 2023 Box da 6 bottiglie

Poggio dei Gorleri's Cycnus is a white wine that stands out for its fresh, mineral and fruity style, typical of Pigato, of which it is entirely composed. Its provenance from marly and calcareous soils gives the wine a distinct minerality, with hints of flint and salinity that enrich its complexity. Harvesting is done manually, selecting only the healthiest and ripest grapes. This operation is fundamental to guarantee the quality of the grapes and, consequently, of the final wine. The grapes are gently crushed and destemmed to separate the must from the skins and stems. The must obtained is transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. This phase is crucial for the transformation of sugars into alcohol and for the development of the wine's primary aromas. For a short period, the must can be left to macerate on the skins to extract additional aromas and structure. However, this practice is used sparingly to avoid giving the wine overly tannic notes. Afterwards, malolactic fermentation can take place, a natural process that transforms malic acid into lactic acid, making the wine softer and more harmonious.  The wine matures in steel for a few months, during which it stabilises and further refines. Steel preserves the wine's freshness and minerality, preventing oxidation and the acquisition of woody notes.
