"Sixty-four" is the year in which Giampaolo Parpinello started his career as an oenologist in Sardinia. This wine commemorates his first 50 years of dedication and passion for vines and wines. Vermentino is the main white grape cultivated in Sardinia. It is presumed to have Spanish origins, but has found its ideal setting in the North of Sardinia, grown in the soils of calcareous marne, conglomerate sandstone. The vineyard is cultivated without the use of chemicals or herbicedes, and with the aim of preserving the biodiversity of the vineyard. Pruning and harvesting are manual, with the careful selection of grape clusters, to ensure the highest quality fruit is selected.
Ala Blanca means white wing in Italian. "Here come the white wings" the children would cry as they watched the seagulls fly over the vineyard. Vermentino is the main white grape cultivated in Sardinia. It is presumed to have Spanish origins, but has found its ideal setting in the north of Sardinia, where it can fully express its distinctive characteristics. The climate is Mediterranean, with frequent north westerly winds, which help to reduce disease pressure in the vineyard. The vineyard is located on gentle slopes between Alghero and Sassari, where the Guyot trained vines are planted on American rootstocks at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare. The vineyard is made up of two main soil types: sandy soils are located close to the sea, which are poor in nutrients, but offer good water retention. The grapes here ripen perfectly and offer a distinctive saline note to the wine. The other is a limestone soil mixed with calcareous stone, which is richer and produces elegant and structured wines.
