Orhora is a white wine based on the varieties Verdicchio, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. Its particularity is due to the position of vineyard it comes from, situated on the top of t he hill at 430 metres a.s.l. with a Nord-Eastern exposition. This vineyard is the first to see the new born day and to receive the caressing light of the sun rays. The grapes are hand-picked early in the morning and then immediately brought and worked in the winery. The most of the single varieties is fermented separately, the Verdicchio is partly barrel-fermented and partly fermented in stainless steel tanks, while the Viognier and the Sauvignon Blanc are both barrel-fermented. The barrels are all used, the ageing of the wine in barriques and stainless steel lasts about 5 months. The wine obtained is round, complex and fresh at the same time, with a good structure and acidity. The ageing in a bottle lasts minimum 2 months. \n \nTECNICAL SHEET \nArea of origin: Municipality of Sarteano (SI) \nHeight above sea level: 360-380 metres a.s.l. \nSoil: clavey-silty and pebbly \nPlanting density: 7,100 stems x ht \nGrowing system: cordon, guyot \nHarvesting period: first half of October \nYield per hectare: 5,000 kg of grapes \nVinification: partly fermented in barrel, the most remains “sul lies” for 5 months, the wine undergoes then an aging period in a bottle for 2 months \nTotal Acidity: 7,20 g/l Show more
