A fantastic combination that brings two different worlds together, and successfully so. The vineyards for these two white grape varieties are also located on the hill that Marco and Sabrina value. The warm climate combined with the cooling wind from the sea creates a wonderful environment where the grapes can grow in peace. When both varieties have individually reached the right ripeness, they are harvested. This harvest is entirely hand-picked and begins very early in the morning. This \"early harvest\" is crucial for the grapes. When picked early, the grapes are still fresh, retain this natural freshness, are more resistant to bruising on the way to the winery, and don't oxidize prematurely due to the heat. Once pressed, the juice undergoes fermentation under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This, in turn, preserves the freshness of the grapes.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat do we eat with this Cima Bianca Fosso Corno?\u003c\/h2\u003e The end result is certainly impressive. We're huge fans of this delicious Fosso Corno Cima Bianca! Looking at the wine in the glass, we see a beautiful lemon-yellow color. Nosing it, we noted pleasant aromas of flowers, gooseberry, boxwood, and various hints of tropical fruit. We suspected a lot of that. The taste strikes a perfect balance between mild and fresh, with hints of tropical fruit and citrus blending beautifully. The long, mild finish leaves a subtle refreshing note on the back of the tongue for a perfect finish. Prefer to pair this white wine with food? Think summer salads, seafood, or grilled fish.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775759028303,"sku":"5507","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/fosso-corno-cimabianca_5507.webp?v=1770046405"},{"product_id":"fosso-corno-aires-montepulciano","title":"Fosso Corno Aires Montepulciano","description":"Another gem from the Fosso Corno winery: the Aires Montepulciano!

These grapes are planted in a very sunny spot because this wine is made from the fruit. From the slope, we have a magnificent view of the Adriatic Sea, which also provides the necessary cooling in the vineyards. At night, a wonderful fresh breeze blows over the plants, allowing the grapes to fully relax for the next day. The winemaker at Fosso Corno treats each grape like a prince. You will therefore understand that only the best is good enough for Fosso Corno wines. When the grapes have reached the right ripeness, the manual harvest begins. This takes place early in the morning to prevent premature oxidation or damage to the grapes.

Only in the best years are the Montepulciano grapes harvested and vinified into this Italian quality wine. Like all wines in the range, they often reference the history of the Abruzzo region.

And with that, a dream came true. They have since expanded it to 45 hectares of vineyards in a prime location inland in the Abruzzo region. The focus is on indigenous grape varieties, but above all, their origins. Roots are important, and everything revolves around quality. At an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, the grapes enjoy the beautiful terroir of clay and limestone. In the winery itself, nothing is left to chance. Modern vinification methods are used, without losing knowledge and tradition.\n\n\n \nTalamonti's vineyards are situated at an altitude of 300 meters, where the Montepulciano grape also benefits from soil composed of clay and stone. When the red grape variety reaches peak ripeness, it is often harvested by hand around October. And this last point is crucial. Hand-harvesting allows the winemaker to select the best grape varieties in the vineyards. The grapes are then destemmed in the winery, after which alcoholic fermentation takes place with skin contact. After malolactic fermentation in French barriques, the wine rests for another 12 months in French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is aged in the bottle for another 12 months. Because, well, perfection requires patience.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy the fresh Tre Saggi Talamonti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAnd once you taste the wine, it's more than worth the wait.
