Fiero Bianco 2021 IGT - Margò

Fiero Bianco is an orange wine produced in Umbria region, near by the village of Sant'Enea, 15 min drive south of Perugia.

Fiero Bianco is the result of a careful work done by Carlo Tabarrini, who from 2008 dedicate himself to improve his own land without any chemicals and with a minimum use of mechanical machinery.

Vintage 2021 was quite hot with a small amount of rain from June to September.

Thanks to a quite temperature excursion from day to night, this vintage as given to this wine a great balance between freshness and body.

Grapes are hand picked the fist week of September, then destemmed mantening a whole grain.
