Vinification of Draga Malvasia Collio

This white wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Malvasia Bianca. Only first-class harvested grapes were used for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Draga. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandstone soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Malvasia Collio can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 7 months.
