Santa Giustina’s Ortrugo Vivace is a stunning bottling from the estate, offering a delightful white wine from a very native varietal.  The grapes reach optimal ripeness in their organic vineyard before being hand-harvested and immediately brought into the cellar.  The entire clusters are gently pressed, and then the grapes and must are left to rest at a low temperature for 18-24 hours together (Pellicular Maceration), before being completely pressed off the skins for fermentation in stainless steel. Finished for 20 days in Charmat tanks, this dazzling white has a lovely light 'vivace' spritz in the glass. A complex nose of sage and roses are backed by tree and citrus fruits, as it leads to the well-balanced palate of bright citrus acidity, round fruit flavors, and a clean persistent finish.
