Grechetto Gentile AKA Pignoletto is a white, but in fact for the characteristics of the grape it is more like a red; because the cultivation has no particular fragility, you can always bring the grapes home, the real question is...how? Pignoletto has thin skin is very rich in polyphenols, important tannin, in these areas it never expresses peculiar aromatics and above all it has little acidity.

To read it this way, it sounds like a recipe for disaster, but thanks to a good altitude (about 450 mt/slm) that helps bring some acidity into the cellar, the chalky soil matrix and the attention of the guys at Tenuta Saiano at harvest, where even a single day's wait can be fatal for Pignoletto, we manage to produce a wine that is simply delicious.

The processing, which to call essential is reductive: 3 days of maceration, fermentation, racking, "neutral" aging in cement, no batonnage, just one racking and off to the bottle, creates an interesting and layered nose: ripe fruit, chalk, ethereal notes, but also very fresh scents such as the smell of grape marc just off the press. The chalky matrix gives a unique skeleton to the wine that flakes off giving a full and bright sip. A wine that has the right characteristics to last over time.
