Wine Description
Core white is a Campania IGT white wine, made from a selection of Fiano and Greco grapes. Both varieties undergo a cryomaceration process; they are then separated during the alcoholic fermentation because each grape variety has a different age of maturation. After the fermentation, the blend will be formed and it begins a long period of fine lees aging (duration 7/8 months) with weekly batonnage. “Core white is the most logical consequence, after Core red. A complete definition of our brand, despite the differences, with the same high quality guarantee as the Montevetrano” says Silvia Imparato. Local vines, in this case Fiano and Greco. This wine is always followed by Riccardo Cotarella and bottled by the Montevetrano Winery that doesn’t have these types of vines in its own vineyard. “Core” has a round and warm name: love in the Neapolitan dialect and centre/essence, in English. After the red wine we wanted to complete the range with Core white, which is our proposal to represent the typicality of the wines of our territory: the Campania region.

Tasting notes
A creamy white, with juicy yellow apple and pear fruit laced with hints of vanilla, verbena, anise and toast. Reveals a subtle, pleasing plumpness that's refreshed and balanced by citrusy acidity and a tang of salinity.
