2022 Mareneve

The Fedegraziani 2022 Mareneve is an unusual blend of 30% Carricante, 25% Riesling Renano, 25% Gewürztraminer, 15% Chenin Blanc and 5% Grecanico fermented with ambient yeasts and aged on the lees in stainless steel for 18 months. No malolactic fermentation occurs. Given the complexity of the blend, the character of the individual grapes is difficult to read. The wine presents a united front with preserved lemon, baked apple and creamy almond over a mid-weight texture. Fruit comes from 1,200 meters above sea level, on the northwest side of the volcano near the village of Bronte (world famous for its excellent pistachio nuts). This is a release of 6,300 bottles.
