Callas DOC
Malvasia Terracotta Amphorae Matured 2021 Organic White Wine
€24.95
It is the emblem of what the Malvasia di Candia Aromatica can express in its chosen territory.
The first still white wine in the province of Parma, from grapes of the more-than-half a century old Montebianco vineyards. Callas exudes a wide array of aromas, such as violets and hawthorn, with a fresh and harmonious sip. A strong and defined personality: the precise identity of Callas stands out even several years after the harvest.
75 cl, 13,5% Vol.

Ozzano Taro hills (Parma), Italy.
Calcareous clay soil at approx. 260m. AMSL.
100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes from the 40 (average) year old Montebianco vineyard vines.
Strictly manual harvest with selection of the best grapes.
After removal of the grape stems, the pressing is gravity-fed to avoid stressing the grapes.
After cryomaceration and fermentation at 18°C for about 20 days, part of the mass ferments with the skins in terracotta amphorae for 6 months and the remainder in steel tanks with bâtonnage. The subsequent ageing in bottle highlights the varietals with perfume of flowers, medicinal herbs, as well as ripe citrus. It expresses the calcareous soil and stands out for its lively sapid expression and subtle mineral nuances.
