The vineyard and territory

The Trebbiano Spoletino grapes come from vineyards located in the Montefalco area, approximately 400 metres above sea level.

The vineyards cover 5 hectares and have an average age of 15 years. The soils are medium-textured and tend towards clay.

The vines are trained using the spurred cordon and Guyot systems, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and a yield of approximately 100 quintals per hectare. The grapes are generally harvested around the middle of September.

Harvest and winemaking

The grapes used to produce Nubìte Terre de La Custodia are selected directly in the vineyard and harvested during the early hours of the morning, when temperatures are lower.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are cooled to limit oxidation, prevent unwanted fermentation and preserve their aromatic qualities.

White winemaking involves gentle pressing of the grapes in an oxygen-free environment to reduce the oxidative activity of the enzymes.

The must undergoes static clarification for 24-48 hours. Selected yeasts are then used to start alcoholic fermentation, which takes place at a low temperature for 12-14 days in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

After fermentation, Nubìte Spoleto DOC Trebbiano Spoletino matures in stainless-steel tanks for 4 months.

The different batches are then blended and undergo a further period of ageing in stainless steel. The wine completes its maturation with an additional 2 months of bottle ageing.

Malolactic fermentation is not carried out.

Tasting notes

The bouquet reveals tropical aromas and yellow peach, followed by citrus notes, orange blossom, rosemary and wild thyme.

The palate is generous yet smooth, supported by a distinctive mineral character that expresses its territory of origin.
