This 2023 Cincinnato Bellone Castore Bianco is a refined white wine that embodies the unique character of the ancient Bellone grape, offering a delicate balance of freshness and minerality.
Vinification begins with soft pressing and destemming, followed by 24 hours of static decantation. Fermentation takes place at a cool 15°C over 10 days, with a subsequent 2-month contact with noble lees. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks for 6 months before undergoing a further 6 months of bottle refinement.
Named ‘Castore’ after the mythical Dioscuri, this wine is celebrated for its refined elegance and delicate fruity profile. The meticulous vinification and the inherent character of the 100% Bellone grape (also known as the “bread grape”) make it a rare and enticing choice for enthusiasts of authentic, terroir-driven wines.
Pairing Suggestions: Ideal with starters, fish dishes, or featured in tasting menus with dishes like ricotta, radicchio, and walnut ravioli, fettuccine with borage and anchovy, or spaghetti alla chitarra with anchovy and fennel sauce.
Tasting Note: Brilliant straw yellow; delicate fruity nose of yellow peach and hawthorn; fresh, fragrant palate with subtle mineral notes.
