Under the warm summer sun’s rays, in a glowing August, the Maria Vinci estate celebrated the 2023 grape harvest. Like every year, the experience in the vineyard proved to be a unique and intense moment, steeped in traditions, crafts, scents and memories.
This year, August 18th marked the beginning of this new adventure, which started with the harvesting of our Chardonnay: a treasure trove of 6,300 kg of grapes promising a wine with a unique character, our "Maria Vinci" white. A few days later, on August 23rd, another 6,000 kg of Chardonnay and about 900 kg of Sauvignon Blanc were added.
To ensure the freshness and integrity of the bunches of grapes, which were strictly hand-picked, we used refrigerated trucks with a controlled temperature of 5 degrees to transfer them to the winery. Here, after careful destemming and pressing, the must was carefully placed in barrels, where it will remain for about 6 months and have time to reveal all its secrets during fermentation. This artisanal process and commitment to quality are at the very heart of our philosophy.
We look forward to sharing with you the result of the 2023 grape harvest: a wine that speaks of our land, our passion and our ongoing commitment to excellence.
