Italian White Wine  

Maturation, carried out in wooden barrels or steel, depends on the variety of wine and the desired profile, contributing significantly to its complexity or freshness. Finally, bottling is a critical step that preserves the quality and character of the wine until the moment of tasting, reflecting a careful fusion of tradition and innovation in white wine production.

Grape Selection and Time of Harvest

The exact timing of the grape harvest is crucial for white wine. Early harvesting can emphasise acidity and freshness, ideal for light, crisp wines. Conversely, a later harvest allows the grapes to develop more sugar and complex aromas, ideal for more full-bodied and structured wines. The careful selection of grapes, based on various factors such as phenolic ripeness and acid-sugar balance, is fundamental to guaranteeing the quality of the wine.

Venetian and Friulian white wines

In our catalogue you will find some of the best white wines from Veneto and Friuli:

Pinot Grigio delle Venezie: this wine is known for its freshness and liveliness. The early harvesting of the Pinot Grigio grapes helps to maintain a high acidity, which is reflected in the wine's fresh and crisp notes.

Chardonnay Veneto IGT: for Chardonnay, the harvest can be slightly delayed to allow more mature and structured flavours to develop. This results in a wine with more body and riper fruit notes, often with a touch of elegance conferred by maturation in wooden barrels.

Ribolla Gialla della Venezia IGT: Ribolla Gialla is famous for its delicate aromas and balanced structure. The targeted harvest balances the natural acidity with the fruity flavours, creating a harmonious and pleasantly fresh wine.

Traminer Aromatico IGT: as the name suggests, this wine is known for its intense aromas. Harvesting the Traminer grapes at a precise time is crucial to capture the distinctive floral and spicy aromas.

Sauvignon IGT Veneto: Sauvignon is prized for its intense and lively aromas. Early harvesting preserves these characteristics, leading to an aromatic wine with notes of fresh herbs and citrus fruits.

Lugana DOC: this wine, made from Turbiana grapes, is known for its balance of acidity and minerality. Harvesting at a time that maximises these characteristics is essential to produce a typical, high quality Lugana DOC.

Vino Bianco Vivace Brioso Colderove: for this lively wine, timely harvesting of the grapes is essential to maintain its characteristic effervescence and freshness.

White Wines of the Tre Venezie

The Tre Venezie, or Triveneto, which includes Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige, are famous for their fine white wines, the result of a unique geography and varied terroir. This region, which stretches from the majestic Dolomites and Alps to the Adriatic plains, benefits from diverse microclimates. The cool nights and warm days of the mountain and hill areas are ideal for developing aromatic white wines, while the Veneto plains are perfect for different varieties, producing light and lively wines. The mineral richness of the Alpine and pre-alpine soil gives wines a distinctive mineral note, while the fertile plains of Veneto are the ideal habitat for grapes such as Glera, used in Prosecco. The white wines of the Tre Venezie, known for their liveliness and elegance, range from the fruity Pinot Grigio to the aromatic and structured Sauvignon Blanc, testifying to the diversity and richness of this wine region.

The variety of white italians wines: still, dry, fruity or sparkling.

The typology of white wines can be categorised according to different characteristics such as structure, taste and level of effervescence. Here is an overview of the different types of white wines, including still, dry, fruity and sparkling:

Still White Wines

Still white wines are those that have no bubbles or effervescence. They are the most common type of white wine and can vary greatly in flavour and structure, from light and refreshing to full-bodied and complex. These wines can be made from a wide variety of grapes and often best express varietal and terroir characteristics. In our catalogue, the Chardonnay Veneto IGT is a perfect example of a still white wine, whose balance of body and freshness reflects the versatility of this type.

Dry White Wines

Dry wines are those in which most of the sugars in the grapes have been converted to alcohol during the fermentation process, resulting in a low residual sugar content. They are known for their freshness and acidity and can present a wide range of flavours, from mineral and herbaceous to fruity and floral. They are excellent table wines and pair well with a variety of foods. Our Sauvignon IGT Veneto is an excellent example of a dry white wine, prized for its liveliness and intense aromas ranging from freshly cut grass to tropical fruits, making it ideal with fish dishes or fresh salads.

Fruity White Wines

These wines are characterized by strong fruit notes in their flavor profile, often with hints of fresh fruit such as apple, pear, citrus, peach or tropical fruits. Fruity wines can be dry or sweet, depending on the amount of residual sugar, and are generally pleasant and easy to drink. They are especially popular for aperitifs or to enjoy on informal occasions. The Pinot Grigio delle Venezie in our assortment perfectly embodies this type, offering a rich and pleasantly aromatic bouquet, ideal for convivial moments or as a refreshing aperitif.

Sparkling White Wines

Sparkling white wines are those that are slightly effervescent. The effervescence may be natural, the result of incomplete fermentation, or added artificially. They are less carbonated than sparkling wines and are prized for their freshness and liveliness. These wines are ideal for aperitifs or as an accompaniment to light dishes. Our Vivace Brioso Colderove White Wine is an exquisite choice in this category, with its delicate bubbles adding a touch of liveliness, making it perfect for starting a meal or toasting on special occasions.
