White wines

Crea

D.O.C.

Crea is our Custoza Macerato - orange wine.

(Macerato) Steeped white wines have a centuries-old history and are characterized by a very intense color, which often turns towards golden yellow, amber or orange.

Its flavor is very strong due to the presence of tannins, given by skin maceration.

Its fragrance is rich, wide and persistent thanks to the numerous aromatic substances extracted.

Organoleptic properties

a straw yellow color with golden nuances.

To the nose, it is complex and persuasive, with hints of yellow peach and a slightly toasted note.

In the mouth, it is rich and dry; its good alcohol content goes well with its fine tannins; yellow fruit are recalled as well.

Vinification

careful picking of the grapes. Once destemmed and crushed, grapes are put into stainless steel barrels for a first cold steeping for some days. Then the alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature with its skins – these are watered and gently processed every day. Due to the contact between the most and the skins, aromas, color and tannins are naturally conveyed – this is an essential process for the further refinement. Refinement in French oak casks for at least 16 months before bottling.
