Velenosi “Réve di Villa Angela” is a pure Pecorino. The grapes come from vineyards located between the municipality of Castel di Lama and that of Ascoli Piceno, situated about 200 meters above sea level, on clayey soils containing a good percentage of sand, exposed to the north. The harvest, slightly late, is manual and involves a careful selection of the best bunches which are placed in small boxes stored in refrigerators immediately after picking.
This operation allows for the perfect preservation of the typical aromatic characteristics of this local grape variety. The winemaking involves a soft pressing and a brief cryo-maceration, in order to further enhance the extraction of varietal aromas. The alcoholic fermentation is initiated in steel tanks and subsequently 50% of the must is transferred to new French oak barriques where the process is completed and remains in contact with the fine lees for about six months. The remaining 50% continues fermentation in steel. At the beginning of winter, the two masses are finally blended.A golden yellow color characterizes this white from Velenosi: amber reflections evoke olfactory sensations of candied fruit, pastries, and toasted almonds. A complex olfactory profile with multiple facets; from yellow peach to jasmine, from caramel to vanilla. A sweet nectar that encloses a double soul: the immediate freshness of steel fermentation and the silky softness of wood aging, with a territorial imprint of great impact.
