Sagona Bianco 2022

The white wine from the artisanal wine cellar Sàgona is a pure Trebbiano Toscano with an articulate and extrovert personality that reflects the potential of this popular white grape variety. We are in Protomagno, in the province of Arezzo, a place where winemaker Daniele Corrotti is committed to interpreting the territory in a genuine manner, without filters or alterations. The vineyards are located in a context of flourishing biodiversity, surrounded by woods, olive trees and orchards, and from these assumptions comes this Trebbiano, a hand-crafted expression of great character.

Sàgona Bianco is produced from pure Trebbiano Toscano grapes cultivated according to the dictates of organic farming on soils consisting of a combination of clay, sand and sedimentary rocks. In particular, the grapes come from two plots, the one called Sàgona, located at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level, and the Campo Maggio plot, located at an altitude of 600 metres. Harvesting is carried out by hand and the grapes are then vinified using the white wine method through direct pressing and subsequent alcoholic fermentation of the must entrusted exclusively to indigenous yeasts, followed by the complete and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The entire fermentation process and the ensuing maturation period of about 10 months take place in barriques of several passages, with the wine finally being bottled without undergoing any filtration.

In the glass, the Bianco signed Sàgona exhibits a beautiful intense golden yellow colour. The complex aromatic bouquet offers fascinating hints of yellow-fleshed fruit, sweet spices, resins and citrus honey, surrounded by nuances of dried fruit. In the mouth, the wine is sunny and vibrant, with a rich progression excellently supported by the fresh, acidic-savoury sparkle.
