Analytical data
dry
1.3 g/l residual sugar
6.1 g/l acidity
3.26 pH
The harvest is carried out by hand, with the grapes collected and transported in boxes. Normally, it occurs between the end of September and the first ten days of October, when the grapes have reached an optimum balance between acidity and sugar content.
After a soft pressing, the prime must rapidly cool and undergo static decantation. Fermentation occurs (60%) in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and the rest (40%) in 5000-litre oak casks. About 10-15% of the wine's total volume undergoes malolactic fermentation.
The ageing stage lasts about 12 months, during which the wine remains in contact with its fermentation yeasts. Plenio completes its ageing with a further 6 months in the bottle.
A weighty wine of great finesse. The deep straw yellow colour shows golden hints.
The palate follows through nicely, with a fresh attack and pleasant softness balanced by the rich, velvety alcohol. The long, lingering finish calls to mind apples, plums, and almonds. A long, sapid, and salty finish.
The nose is fresh and penetrating, with light overtones of ripe fruit, honey, bitter almonds, aromatic herbs, balsamic, and a hallmark note of aniseed left by the vineyard of origin.

| Winery | Plenio is our Verdicchio Riserva, a class recognized by the production rulebook. The rulebook prescribes a minimum ageing period of 18 months, of which at least six must be in the bottle. The name of the wine, from the Latin Plenum, is intended to suggest the characteristics of fullness, complexity, and structure. It is a wine to be appreciated for its lingering persistence and richness of perfumes and aromas, which combine with the elegance of great whites to make it a unique wine. The first few years were produced from a plot in the Villa Bianchi vineyard, but now Plenio is the product of vines grown at higher altitude in one of the areas historically regarded as more suitable for the production of Verdicchio, near the picturesque village of Cupramontana. The vineyard was planted in the early 90s and is situated at about 250-350 meters above sea level, with an east-facing aspect. The soil, which derives from formations from the Pleiocene-Pleistocene era, is characterized by a very deep clay loam with fairly poor fertility and, therefore, extremely suitable for producing quality wines. |
