Bianco Breg Anfora 2008

Grape  blend  obtained  from   four  different  vine  varieties   (Sauvignon  blanc,  Pinot  grigio, Chardonnay  and  Riesling  italico) which  are  fermented  separately   and  aged  together. While  fermenting  in  Georgian amphorae  buried  underground,   it  underwent  a  long  maceration   with  wild  yeasts  and  no  temperature control.  After  the  drawing  off  and   pressing  phases  the  wine  was poured  back  into  amphorae  for   five  more  months  before  it  started ageing  in  large  oak  barrels,  where   it  was  left  for  six  years.   Wine  is  bottled  without  fining   or  filtration.

Due  to  frequent  rainfall  in the summer  and  autumn  utmost  care was required  in  dealing  with  the vineyards  and  grapes.  A  reasonable share  of  grapes  developed  noble  rot.

Bianco Breg was last made in 2012, after that these vineyards were dismissed, to concentrate the efforts on the Ribolla. Also for this reason. Bianco Breg is a rare gem.
