Gronda di Calafata: a delicious natural white wine to pair with shellfish
The Gronda white wine from the Calafata winery is a bottle born to please and share the table with a thousand dishes.
We are talking about a light-footed, agile, and salty white wine, but one with depth and great cleanliness.
It is not a colossal and stratified wine that should be left to rest in the cellar for 20 years. No, quite the opposite. Enjoy it now, without remorse or inhibitions.
On the contrary, it will become lighthearted and nervous in its acid development, making it a great match for raw fish dishes, white meats, and Chinese food.
How the Gronda di Calafata white wine is produced
The average age of the vineyards is 50 years, and all are cultivated without herbicides or chemicals.
After the manual harvest, the bunches are pressed in vats, followed by a short maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and aging in steel.
Sulfur dioxide is present in minimal terms at 40 mg per liter.
Organoleptic characteristics
A blend of Malvasia, Moscato, and Vermentino that glides on a sea of salt.
Clean, sharp, fragrant, and always elegant in its airy pace.
The bouquet has character, a ringing tone, the right balance of rocks and fruit, and a finish with a hint of herbs.
It has endless acidity and a salty, oyster-like texture on the palate.
As a white, it looks like a great warrior, but the alcohol level and softness have been fine-tuned to make it always pleasant to drink.
It is not the wine to be left in the cellar for years; on the contrary, it should be drunk immediately and with joy and lightness.
A wine to consult whenever you feel like a sunny aperitif or an excellent white wine to pair with any fish dish
