Cinque Terre Bianco Possa 2022

The Cinque Terre Bianco is born from the ancient winemaking traditions of Liguria, carried on by the Possa winery in the vertical valley of Possaitara, in Riomaggiore. The heroic viticulture of Possa is dedicated to local grape varieties, respecting the nature surrounding the vineyards and working in the vineyard and winery with highly artisanal methods. This blend of whites from the ancient Ligurian tradition presents a territorial soul, which takes shape on the nose with notes of Mediterranean scrub and materializes on the palate in a savory and marine sip. The pleasure of a genuine and sincere label, which, due to these characteristics, belongs to the Triple A category.

This Cinque Terre Bianco is a macerated white born from a blend of indigenous white grape varieties typical of Ligurian viticulture, Bosco and Albarola. The vines of these two varieties are about 40 years old and are trained using the low pergola system within a mainly marine terroir, characterized by the presence of sand and gravel derived from sandstones. The must ferments spontaneously in steel tanks with a maceration period of 5 days. The aging takes place for half of the mass in small oak and acacia barrels and for the other half in steel containers. After 8 months of maturation, Possa proceeds with bottling and marketing operations.

The Possa Cinque Terre presents itself visually with a beautiful straw yellow color, with more golden reflections visible at the rim. Refreshing Mediterranean notes envelop the nose, which also tells of more citrus and nutty notes; in the finish, a slight menthol sensation is felt. On the palate, it is light-bodied, characterized by a fresh sip from which emerges a savory taste that encourages a light and very smooth drinking experience. A label that honors the indigenous Ligurian grape varieties and narrates the heroic viticulture of the province of La Spezia.
