The name recalls the local white stone, emphasising the deep connection with the Apulian territory. The vineyards benefit from hot summers tempered by \u003cstrong\u003esignificant temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e between day and night. This climate, together with proper canopy management for shading, ensures a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes. The pedoclimatic environment encourages intense aromatic development, carefully preserving the natural \u003cstrong\u003efreshness and acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and gentle pressing, the must settles at a low temperature. The Chardonnay ferments and matures on the lees in \u003cstrong\u003enew barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of French and Hungarian oak, completing malolactic fermentation. The Fiano, on the other hand, ferments in steel to maintain its liveliness. After six months of maturation in wood, the varieties form a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious blend\u003c\/strong\u003e, further refined for five months in the bottle. The result is a structured profile, ideal for accompanying white meats, \u003cstrong\u003eseafood first courses\u003c\/strong\u003e and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned by the Antinori family under the Tormaresca label, Pietrabianca is produced at the enchanting Bocca di Lupo estate in Apulia.
