Bera Vittorio E Figli Description
The name Arcese is a playful mash-up of Arneis and Cortese, historically the base of this field blend white. The different varieties are largely co-planted and co-fermented.
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete tank without the addition of sulfur. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation and ages on its lees for up to a year in concrete tank. It is bottled unfiltered and with a touch of residual sugar, allowing for a small refermentation which adds a lift of CO2 to the wine upon opening, an intentional effect.
The addition or omission of S02 is dependant on the vintage. If it is applied, only one gram per hectoliter is added at bottling.
