The Millocchio Bianco
wine primarily comes from the old vines of Millocchio vineyard. It
is an "orange" wine, which means that this white wine is made like
red wine, fermenting the must together with the grape skins. Usually
white wines are obtained by removing not only the stalks but also
the skins before starting the fermentation. Instead the Millocchio
Bianco is made by following the method the peasants used
in the past to make white wine by leaving the must on the skins until
the end of fermentation, which can last up to four weeks. This technique
produces wine of a golden tending to orange color, the reason why
this type of wine is called "orange wine".
The Millocchio Bianco is an assemblage of several separate fermentation of Ansonica, Clairette, Procanico, Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes done by following the philosophy of natural wine: spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, long maceration on the skins, no added substances and no filtration. Sulfur dioxide has been replaced by nitrogen, an inert gas, which is used to protect the wines from contact with oxygen during racking and bottling. The wines are aged for 10 months in 500 liter used oak barrels, and another 6 months in bottles before leaving the cellar. The Millocchio Bianco is a wine rich
in aromas and flavors.
Presently the Millocchio Bianco is distributed in Austria byVinifero (Vienna), in Denmark by Il Buco (Copenhagen), in Japan by Vinecco (Tokyo), in Italy by Bibo Potabile (Toscana), by Rollingwine (online shop) and by La Valigia di Bacco (Sicily), in The Netherlands by Vinum Naturale / Angolo Vinoso (Amsterdam), in USA by Scuola di Vino, in Australia by Vino Mito. |
