Ostrea Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG 2023 - Mormoraia

The Mormoraia by Franca and Giuseppe Passoni is located opposite the historic town of San Gimignano on a hilltop far away from traffic with a wonderful panoramic view. As late-appointed winemakers, they have transformed the slowly decaying farm into a flourishing winery with certified organic wine production in recent years. The Vernaccia vine likes the tuff soil, playing with blazing sun and refreshing wind. The modern wine press guarantees careful, optimal processing of the grapes into a lively, racy white wine with the subtly spicy aroma typical of the variety. The Ostrea ferments in barriques after the grape must has been refrigerated first in contact with the berry skins for a few hours, then pressed and clarified. In barriques, the wine remains on its fine yeast for about 9 months, which is stirred up at regular intervals (bâtonnage). This contributes to a velvety richness and gives the wine a charming meltness.
