Sciccheria Bianco IGP Lazio

    • Description :

      "Sciccheria" is a Roman term that originates from a reinterpretation of the French chic (spelled as scic in italian), ​elegant, in fact, but simple. On the other hand, simplicity is elegance, isn't it? A simple but everyday wine, a wine somewhere between chic and peasant, a scic!​
      Vinification: Manual selection of Bellone grapes from bunches picked in crates with a portion of Verdicchio grapes. Cold pre-fermentation maceration of the grapes for forty eight hours, soft pressing and selection of the first press of the must. The must is fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel for about fifteen days at a temperature of 16°C. Refinement continues in stainless steel under fine lees for three months. A brief period of refinement in the bottle of about two months follows before being released for sale.
