About
Petraluce was created in 2012 and made from Verdeca, a grape originating from the Valle d’ltria, where it was bottled in Rhine bottles. Whereas in the past this was a fairly neutral grape, mainly used to make Vermouth, today it is produced following a reductive vinification process, in order to protect it from oxidation, while giving it a very subtle, stylish mouthfeel. Verdeca wine stands out for its typical greenish hues, especially evident in the early months after bottling. The name Petraluce is evocative of our area, with its famous white stone and very intense light.
Terroir
Vines cultivated at Monaci’s Brindisi estates near the seaside. Vines are grown in deep dry clay soil containing some tuffaceous limestone, using spurred cordons. The average yield is 3.7 tons/acre.
Vinification
Vines cultivated at Monaci’s Brindisi estates near the seaside. The grapes ripen in the second week of September, are harvested mechanically in the early hours of the morning with the cool air and are then taken to the winery immediately.
