Suavia Massifitti 2021

Massifitti is a Trebbiano recently created by Suavia with the IGT designation. The grapes used to produce it come 100% from Trebbiano Veronese vines. These are native and ancient vines with remarkable potential. The wine, excellent both fresh and aged for a few years, is produced following a long process. The harvest, which takes place around mid-September, is done manually, and proceeds with a vinification in which the whole grapes are subjected to soft pressing. The fermentation takes about 15 days and is carried out by indigenous bacteria. This is a malolactic fermentation, in which malic acid is transformed into lactic acid, with an overall decrease in acidity and a consequent increase in pH. Maturation takes place in contact with the lees for approximately 15 months in steel tanks, while refinement takes place in the bottle for 12 months. Before bottling, Massafitti is typically membrane filtered only once. In the heart of Veneto, in Fittà, these hillside vineyards can reach several years of age, up to sixty. Born and raised on volcanic soil, rich in basalt and clay, the vines benefit from a temperate climate, which enjoys excellent temperature ranges in the summer and moderate but constant ventilation. All this emphasizes the qualities of the wine, which has received numerous awards.
