The Trebbiano and Chardonnay are aged in barriques, while the Sauvignon Blanc is vinified in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a wine that is exceptionally clear and fruit-forward. Finally, the individual batches are blended, and the wine is then aged in the bottle for another six months. The Pratto Bianco is a cuvée of 50% Trebbiano di Lugana, 25% Chardonnay, and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. This outstanding white wine is traditionally fermented in tanks before being aged for nine months in barriques. On the nose, the Pratto is very intense, without any one of the three grape varieties dominating. Its taste is delicate and balanced; the herbal and spicy notes of the Sauvignon Blanc blend smoothly with the richness of the Chardonnay and the freshness of the Trebbiano. It presents itself as full-bodied, vanilla-like, fresh, and persistent.
