tenuta ghizzano il ghizzano bianco 2019

Made from traditional Tuscan white grapes: Trebbiano, Vermentino and Malvasia Bianca. Vermentino grape is vinified traditionally pressing it and fermenting the juice at a low temperature with its indigenous yeasts along one month. Trebbiano e Malvasia grapes are left for few hours (from 7 to 12 hours), after refrigerating them, in the pressing machine with their skins and then left in a stainless steel tank to ferment with its yeast. When fermentation, of each different variety, has come to an end we rack the wine and blend it together. IL GHIZZANO BIANCO is a fresh and fruity wine, easy drinking, perferctly matching with summer dishes.

Since 2006 biodynamic principles are employed achieving full Demeter certification in 2018. Ghizzano is a member of the Agricoltura Vivente, group of agricultural entrepreneurs from different fields, who exchange expert insight and shared knowledge. The turn towards biodynamics has shown measurable quality improvements.

SUSTAINABILITY:
All wines are hand harvested. Strong respect for land and place are rejected in efforts to produce clean energy and reduce water use through recycling. Instillation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the winery produce solar power for use in the winery. Rain water is collected and reused, including mixing with copper for treating downy and powdery mildew. Only recycled cardboard is used on case packaging and compost is sourced from local community recycling centers.
