IGT Bianco dell'Umbria
“Orzalume” Bianco Umbria IGT
"Orzalume" wine of "Castello di Corbara" winery is the result of a blend of several grape varieties, mainly Grechetto and Sauvignon, with a presence of Greco di Tufo and Falanghina. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand exclusively in the "Orzalume" vineyard, which is located in the south/southwest at 350 m. above sea level, enjoying an excellent exposure. The soil varies from medium-textured with alluvial substrata, to clayey with a good loam deposit. The vineyard is carefully monitored throughout the phenological phases with the aim of reaching a limited, high - quality production and each variety is separately harvested. The fermentation, with selected ferments, takes place in French oak casks where the wine is kept for around 5 months to impart aroma and bouquet, thanks to the lysis of the ferments. After racking and further processing, the wines are blended, bottled and bottle-aged for around 2 months before being finally put on the market.
"For many years Castello di Corbara Winery has respected the environment, constantly monitoring the microclimate of its vineyards dispersed troughout its territory over 1000 hectares wide, in order to guarantee the production of utterly genuine wines representing a true expression of the grapes and of the land"
