Maria Costanza Bianco Dop Organic Wine 2021 , The “Maria Costanza” white wine is a famous label from the Milazzo winery, obtained from the vinification of Inzolia and Chardonnay grapes in steel and, for a small part, in barrique. It is soft, enveloping, fresh and fruity, with hints of tropical fruit, yellow flowers, chamomile and aromatic herbs.

The Maria Costanza Bianco Dop Organic Wine 2021 is a base of Chardonnay and Inzolia, in which tropical fruit is the key that accompanies the nose and palate in a refreshing and highly satisfying taste experience.

The Maria Costanza Bianco Dop Bio 2021 wine is made by the Milazzo winery starting from a blend featuring a great native vine, Inzolia, and an international one that finds interesting qualitative peaks in Sicily, Chardonnay. The vines of both varieties are cultivated with the Guyot system, and have their roots in a subsoil composed mainly of limestone-rich marl. The grapes, once harvested during the manual harvest, are softly pressed, fermenting alcoholicly both in steel and, for a small part of the total mass of the wine equivalent to 10%, in barrique. This distribution between steel and wood then continues during the maturation phase, which lasts for 6 months.

Milazzo, producer of our Vino Maria Costanza Bianco Dop Bio 2021, is a production company born in Campobello di Licata in Agrigento; They were among the first Sicilian winemakers, between the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties, to enhance winemaking from native Sicilian vines.

Their cellars are largely underground and designed with the least possible environmental impact in mind. Built with materials designed to contain energy consumption and obtain low emissions in air conditioning and with the aid of technologies to obtain maximum hygiene and ideal care of the product. For pressing, pneumatic presses with central lung are used with very low operating pressures to operate with great delicacy on the grapes;

The maturation of their wines in steel takes place entirely "sur lie" by suspending the feces in order to favor the transfer of the aromatic components of the yeast into the wine.

Their barrique cellar extends entirely into the underground part of our cellars and contains over 500 barriques intended for the refinement of both white and red wines, and some bases for classic method sparkling wines. Here the barrels are filled and checked. The passage in barrique plays a primary role in guaranteeing the best evolution of our wines.

The choice of their woods is fundamental. Our barriques are all produced in the best "tonnelleries" strictly with oak wood. We use new barriques in common with a renewal cycle every five years.

Their cut. The most delicate moment. After the harvest, pressing, fermentation and the different maturation and refinement paths, each wine in our collection is subjected to this delicate phase, which seals the passionate work of the winemaker and his collaborators, before entering the bottle where it continues to evolve until the moment it is poured into the chalice.
It is in this phase that the long work of creating wine comes to completion, a journey made of patience and technique that sometimes takes many years. This is the moment in which the best characteristics of the grape and the Milazzo imprint on winemaking find their synthesis.

• Description: Maria Costanza Bianco represents a milestone in Sicilian viticulture. Our company was in fact the first to blend Inzolia and Chardonnay to give life to this elegant white wine.

• Work in the cellar: Pressing at controlled temperatures. The free-run must, further refrigerated, undergoes clarification for 12-24 hours after which alcoholic fermentation begins. Part of the musts ferment in steel at low temperatures and part ferment in French oak barriques, specially selected for the maturation of white wines. The wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation and are kept on their feces until the following spring by "batônage". The wine matures for at least 2 months in the bottle before being released on the market.

• Sensory notes: It has a beautiful straw yellow color with green reflections. On the nose it is seductive. At the opening, hints of white flowers combine well with aromatic vegetables, then enveloping notes of flowers and citrus leaves emerge. In the mouth it is full and with a beautiful structure, the flavor guarantees great tasting persistence.
