The Ippolito 1845s Greco Bianco grapes come from the Feudo and the Difesa Piana vineyards, two renowned viticultural areas in the Cirò Marina, which is located in the southern tip of Italy. Both vineyards are situated close to the beach, where the warm and sunny vineyards are influenced by coastal breezes. The vines are trained on the traditional espalier system at a density of 5,600 plants per hectare. The soils in each vineyard differ slightly: the soil in the Feudo vineyard is deep, alluvial and of medium texture; while the soil of the Difesa Piana vineyard is sandy loam. The combination of the distinctive soil types and the proximity to the sea, produce a wine with fresh and juicy fruit and a saline, mineral note on the finish. The vines are cultivated according to organic and sustainable principles and the grapes are manually harvested in early September.
