The Bianchello del Metauro Albaspino is made from 100% Biancame, a local, small-berries clone of Trebbiano that is closely related to the Procanico of Orvieto. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in concrete tanks. In the glass, this lovely white wine has a limpid, pale primrose yellow color, with flashes of white gold at the edge. Delicate aromas of Fuji apples, peach blossoms and mandarin zest emerge followed by hints of sweet basil, Persian melon, and ripe kiwis. The wine is graceful on the palate, with discreet citrus, floral and herbal elements that echo the nose, including pink grapefruit, and white tea finishing good acidity and fine minerality. The overall impression is one of perfect balance, restraint, and refreshing, irresistible drinkability.
The ancient aleatico clone present in Pergola since 1234, the year of its foundation, has been sustained to this day thanks to the wise work of the winemakers, witnessed by the oldest vineyard still present at Grifoleto. The Grifoglietto is a real "cru", from a single vineyard of more than half a century on clay soil. It has a ruby ??red colour on a purple background; the perfumes, initially austere, are characterised by hints of roses, strawberries and raspberries. On the palate, it is dry and fresh, harmonious and characteristic, with minimal tannic hindrance. It is best served with cured meats, white meats, dishes based on truffles and mushrooms. It combines divinely with snails in porchetta. The refinement in the bottle can last a long time, for years, like for great wines.
