> White, Vino Bianco by [Castello di Tassarolo](https://ilvinobello.com/wineries/castello-di-tassarolo.md), Gavi, Piemonte, Italy. From Il Vino Bello (https://ilvinobello.com/wines/castello-di-tassarolo-penombra).

- **Producer:** Castello di Tassarolo
- **Style:** White
- **Denomination:** Vino Bianco
- **Grape:** Cortese 100%
- **Vinification:** A natural wine with no added sulfites in any form. After manual harvest in small crates, the must is poured into handmade, spherical amphorae together with semi-crushed grapes, where fermentation develops in a circular, uniform movement. Once fermentation ends, the grapes rest for a time at the bottom of the amphorae; the wine is bottled after resting for almost a year in the terracotta, which gives it special oxygenation.

An amphora-fermented orange-style wine with no added sulfites, aged nearly a year in terracotta before bottling.

## Tasting notes

Green tinges with an intense straw-yellow colour. The bouquet is pronounced and approachable. Well-rounded, delightful and pure on the palate.
