SATRIC

White Wine of Lazio I.G.T.

Background

This wine takes its name from the ancient city of "Satricum". The oldest traces of huts date back to the 9th century BC. and were organized in the form of a village with a place of worship in the center. This settlement, located on the hill next to the Astura river, would later become the Acropolis of the city, the place where the temple of the divinity Mater Matuta would have seen its location, of which, still today, the remains are visible, near the present Borgo Le Ferriere (LT).

Grapes and vinification

40% Chardonnay, 40% Sauvignon and 20% Trebbiano Giallo *. The grapes are harvested at an initial stage of ripeness, in order to maintain their freshness and aromas unaltered. After careful selection, the grapes are subjected to soft pressing, with the separation of the must from the skins. The slow but continuous fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and lasts for about 7-8 days. After the usual rackings, the new wine completes its maturation process
