Baltasis sausas
Blend of the three most important white berried grapes of Abruzzo's tradition - Trebbiano, Pecorino and Cococciola - Villa Gemma Bianco is produced on the hills near Chieti. Fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature is followed by fining in bottle: the result is a delicately vibrant and crisp white wine, characterized by fruity and aromatic herb notes and intense minerality, perfect for raw fish appetizers, seafood and fish dishes.
Serve at 10-12°C with linguini, salmon steak or lobster.
Masciarelli Tenute Agricole was established in 1981 from the entrepreneurial intuition of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbol of Italian wine and protagonist of the success of modern wine production in Abruzzo. The beating heart of the winery is in San Martino sulla Marrucina, in the province of Chieti, and includes vineyards and olive groves, in all 4 provinces of Abruzzo. Wine production – while also having a small production of extra virgin olive oil – now has 18 labels and five product lines: Classic Line, Gianni Masciarelli, Villa Gemma, Marina Cvetic, and Castello di Semivicoli. In the constant and renewed work for innovation, but with respect for the environment and tradition, Masciarelli inaugurated, after a long restoration, Castello di Semivicoli, a seventeenth-century baronial mansion, which is now a Relais de Charme in the vineyards, a driving force of wine tourism in the area.
