The Grechetto "La Palmetta" by Fongoli is an expressive, fragrant and savoury white wine from Umbria, produced with cold maceration and vinification in steel tanks. Perfumes of aromatic herbs, flowers and white fruits animate a warm, smooth, citrusy and fresh flavour.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Straw yellow with greenish reflections, significant consistency. A fine and delicate bouquet, of rare elegance, pleasant fruity and floral notes. The taste denotes structure and great freshness. The finish is caressing and sumptuous with a wealth of aromas and splendid varietal nuances.
The grapes are harvested by hand from the first light of day until 11:00 p.m. They are destemmed and pressed, and only the first-pressing must be used. The low temperature of the must allows an initial static decanting with separation of the first sediment, then movement is activated with cadenced oxygenation. At the end of fermentation, racking and oxygenation allow the wine to clarify naturally and prevent reduction. Matured for about three months on the lees, the wine is then bottled without filtration or the addition of sulphur dioxide The vines are cultivated using biodynamic techniques."
