The Millocchio Bianco 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 Sulfur dioxide has been replaced by nitrogen, an inert gas, which is used to protect the wines from contact with oxygen during racking and bottling.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 with a good acidity and mellow tannins.
Presently the Millocchio Bianco is distributed in Austria byVinifero (Vienna), in Denmark by Il Buco (Copenhagen), in Japan byTerravert (Tokyo), in Italy by Bibo Potabile (Toscana), by Rollingwine (online shop), in The Netherlands by Vinum Naturale / Angolo Vinoso (Amsterdam), in USA by Scuola di Vino, in Australia by Vino Mito, in Belgium by Vinsvivants. |
