Wine Bianco Luna represents an eccentric interpretation of the grape varieties typically destined for reds from the Colline Novaresi, a renowned wine-growing area located in Borgomanero and Cureggio, in the province of Novara. This particular wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, traditionally used for Piedmontese reds, but used here in a white vinification.
The harvest takes place in the second week of October, when the Nebbiolo grapes reach their full ripeness. The morainic, sandy, clay soil, together with the altitude of 350 meters above sea level, gives the wine distinctive characteristics of freshness and complexity.
The wine is made from the grapes of the Nebbiolo grape.
With a yield of 90 quintals per hectare, the winemaking process is distinguished by its modern approach: the Vino Bianco Luna is vinified in rosé and then stored in steel tanks. This method preserves the purity of Nebbiolo's characteristics, offering a unique white wine with an alcohol content of 12.5% that enhances the lightness and freshness typical of high-quality white wines.
The 2016 Vino Bianco Luna has a brilliant white color, reflecting its innovative processing and the essence of Nebbiolo grapes. It is a wine that embodies tradition revisited, suitable for accompanying refined dishes of local or international cuisine, ideal for those who wish to discover new nuances in the wine scene of the Novarese Hills.
Someone said that in a glass of wine there's a man's life... for us it's much more than that. We are a small winery with a long history, located in the area of Upper Piedmont.
Four generations of Zanetta spent in the vineyards and cellars. Since the last years of 1800 the families of Elena's great-grandparents' great-grandparents used to go with carts to work in the vineyards of Cureggio and then transform in their cellars and then resell an excellent product. Later Elena's grandparents, Angelo and Angela, with more modern means and partly renewing the cellars, continued these activities assisted, since he was a boy, by his son Giuseppe; a life of work, his, made with great enthusiasm and always supported by an inexhaustible passion. In the last years of 1900 Giuseppe realized one of his dreams: to replant and expand the ancient vineyard of Cureggio.
Hard work, constant commitment and great passion without ever giving in to adversity, not only atmospheric, have led to the realization of the current reality: "Madonna dell'Uva". We have been producing, for four generations, excellent red wines, rare, well balanced, native and pure.
Our company is located in the municipalities of Cureggio and Borgomanero, in the province of Novara. We want to introduce you our wines not only because they are really good, but also because they represent a typical regional rarity.
