WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Annick IGT Bianco Toscana is produced using a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino grapes. The Sauvignon Blanc component is made from free-run juice, while the Vermentino undergoes a four-day maceration on the skins. Both varieties are pressed using bladder presses and fermented separately in concrete tanks. After fermentation, the wines are blended and aged in concrete for four months. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no sulfur dioxide added. The estate employs Demeter-certified biodynamic farming practices.
