Leoni Bianco - Vino Leoni

Leoni Bianco is the wine that makes us fall in love with the Leoni company. The real daily wine, which comes from white grapes that grow on clay soils at 250 m.s.l.m. Manual harvest at the end of September and beginning of October, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts with maceration on the skins for 5 days. It is aged in stainless steel tanks for 8 months and then in bottles in April with a crescent moon. Leoni Bianco is a juicy wine, tonic, perky, and great drink.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. A wine to drink immediately, but it will give the best of itself in a few years time.

Pairing

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with dishes with a clear marine flavor, from starters based on shells to first courses based on seafood.

Winery: Soc. Agricola le Grotte 

Claudio and Guido Leoni's company is located in the center of the Romagna hills, in Roncofreddo, where the famous Rubicone river flows, about 20 km from the Adriatic sea. The two brothers in a territory certainly not valued as it should and could be, have succeeded in producing fully convincing wines, as is rarely found in these parts. Their adventure begins in 2013, when they begin to take care of 2 hectares of vineyards of more than forty years grown with passion and in a natural way without pesticides or herbicides. Sangiovese, Bianchello, Albana and Barbera vineyards that have never seen chemicals. Harvest entirely by hand, and in the cellar the winemaking process takes place with the same respect for the raw material; spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtration, use of sulfur dioxide in homeopathic doses. The resulting wines are genuine, straightforward, direct, sincere, easy to drink and immediately enjoyable: the qualities that are expected to be found in these parts, but which are instead so rare ...arch.
