Description
What kind of wine it is
Vin de la Neu by Nicola Biasi is a still white wine made from the Johanniter grape variety, classified as Indicazione Geografica Tipica Vigneti delle Dolomiti, in Trentino. It stands out for its fascinating and complex aromatic profile, featuring notes of chamomile, white peach and almond, enhanced by hints of thyme and white pepper. On the palate, it reveals a full and linear structure, supported by vibrant freshness and pronounced savouriness. The harmonious balance leads to a long and precise finish, perfect for those who appreciate wines with great character and verticality.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Trentino, from the union of two small high-altitude crus: a historic vineyard and a more recently planted one. Mountain viticulture demands extreme dedication and meticulous care among the rows. The particular soil and climate conditions of the area allow for a marked natural acidity, encouraging slow ripening and giving the wine a distinctive territorial identity.
How it is produced
After a rigorous manual harvest with careful selection of the bunches, vinification begins with the separate processing of each parcel. Following static clarification in cement tanks and gentle pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, both new and second use. During this period, constant bâtonnage encourages aromatic extraction, supported by controlled micro-oxygenation to increase complexity. After malolactic fermentation in cement, the final blend is created, which continues to mature in wood. The process concludes with essential bottle ageing, fundamental for achieving ultimate expressive elegance.
History and Curiosities
Vin de la Neu 2020 comes from two small crus in Trentino: a historic vineyard, harvested on the morning of 14 October, and a younger one planted in the spring of 2017, picked in the afternoon of the same day. Production is extremely limited, with only 957 bottles and 30 magnums produced. This vintage boasts one of the warmest winters ever recorded in Trentino. The label, decorated with a snowflake, features the inscription “Mille Metri A Mille Metri”.
