Pratobianco, Emilia Bianco IGT by Torre Fornello, was born in Ziano Piacentino, Emilia Romagna. The name Pratobianco refers to the cadastral parcel where the three grape varieties that give life to this wine are cultivated. Pratobianco, in fact, is a blend of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica and Sauvignon, both 40%, and Chardonnay for the remainder. Each grape variety brings unique characteristics. Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, in particular, is rich in intense aromas and gives the wine a distinct aromaticity. Sauvignon for its part contributes freshness, acidity and herbaceous notes. Chardonnay, finally, lends structure, smoothness and a touch of buttery elegance. The Sauvignon and Malvasia grapes are only processed and matured for a period of no less than 6-9 months. The Chardonnay, on the other hand, is processed in French oak barrels from the Allier forest. Here it undergoes fermentation and ageing. This dual approach, with part of the wine maturing in wood, creates a perfect balance between freshness and structure. In the Pratobianco glass it has a beautiful bright straw yellow colour, enhanced by delicate greenish reflections. The nose reveals an intense and persistent bouquet, with complex aromatic notes reminiscent of herbs, such as sage, oregano and thyme, and hints of green pepper, exotic fruit and elderflower. In the mouth, it is dry, full and elegant, with a nice structure and balanced acidity. The slight woody note, brought by the Chardonnay's ageing in wood, then adds depth and refinement. Ideal with seafood salads, burrata, cured meats and grilled vegetables. Try it with spinach and ricotta tortelli, dressed with melted butter and sage.
