Vinification
Princic Trebez is made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc varieties, which come from plots of 60-year-old vines that grow in clay-calcareous soils. The musts of each variety ferment separately and spontaneously. The musts remain in contact with the grape skins during maceration, which lasts between 8 days for the Pinot Grigio, and up to 22 days for the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varieties. The wine ages for 24 months in oak barrels. It is bottled without filtering.
