La Grazia Opul Alpi Retiche Bianco 2017

By vocation and tradition, the Valtellina is absolutely the territory of "red wines" of the noble Nebbiolo vine. For "whites" only one vine with the same lineage could be properly inserted: the Pinot Bianco. Like Nebbiolo, Pinot favours a subcontinental climate with a high temperature range, very clear and bright skies, but also fresh and medium-good fertility soils. To achieve all this, La Grazia has identified for its Pinot Bianco a vineyard placed in particular position and exposure, with terraces a little steep, less warm and with a north-west orientation. Hence the name of the wine: OPUL, which in the Tyrrhenian dialect means vineyard on the left bank of the Adda: the freshest part of the valley.
