Although Puglia primarily produces red wine, it also produces beautiful white wines. Like this Torre de Lancia Bianco Fuoco from the Velarino winery. It's a blend of Chardonnay and the local Malvasia grape. Together, these grapes create a seductive wine with sweet aromas and an elegant structure.
Beautiful white blend wine from Velarino
In southern Italy, in the Salento wine region to be precise, lies the Torre de Lancia winery, part of the Velarino family. The perfect climate prevails here, with abundant sunshine alternating with cool ocean breezes. This allows the grapes to ripen perfectly.
This wine is made from the internationally renowned Chardonnay grape and the local Malvasia, which together create a captivating and characterful blend. After careful harvesting, the grapes are fermented at a low temperature. This cool-controlled fermentation is essential for preserving the freshness and fruity character of the grapes. The low temperature also helps preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Chardonnay and Malvasia. During vinification, stainless steel tanks are used for aging. The use of stainless steel tanks is beneficial for this wine because it provides a neutral environment and does not affect the wine's flavor. This allows the fruity notes of the grapes to fully express themselves in the final wine.
