Gravner Bianco Breg 2005 Venezia Giulia IGT

Grape:Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Riesling Italico
Vintage: 2005
Type: Orange

Another very mild year with moderate rain during the whole summer. Autumn rain resulted in grapes developing an optimum level of noble rot. Last day of harvesting: Wednesday, 12 October. A blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Pinot grigio and Riesling Italico, which are fermented separately and aged together. Fermented in Georgian amphorae buried underground. After a long maceration with native yeasts and no temperature control, the wine was pressed and returned to age in the amphorae for at least five more months. Afterwards, it was aged in large oak barrels for four years. Bottled without fining or filtration.
