The vineyard is now mature and produces truly beautiful bunches. This is also thanks to the perfect climate. Abundant sunshine contributes to the ripening process and gives the Greco and Fiano grapes a rich richness. The fresh mountain breeze that blows across the vineyards provides the necessary cooling during the growing season. This coolness is essential for the grapes to mature evenly and calmly. Without this cooling, the bunches would ripen too quickly. Fortunately, that's not the case, and the soil also contributes to the quality of this white wine. The deep roots allow the vines to absorb a great deal of moisture, which is also important in the warm climate. Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are harvested separately in the early morning to prevent damage to the bunches and oxidation. The grapes are transported in small crates to Vigneti del Vulture.
First, both the Greco and Fiano are vinified separately. Then it's up to the winemaker at Vigneti del Vulture to find the perfect blend. A crucial task, as the Pipoli family has a reputation to uphold. Once the blend is ready, this white wine is left to mature in steel vats. The aging period is long, lasting at least six months, and this is reflected in the aromas and flavors of this beautiful white wine. The Pipoli Greco Fiano has hints of dried and fresh apricots and sweet flowers on the nose. This wine is full-bodied and dominated by aromas of citrus and tropical fruits. The wine has good acidity, which provides a pleasant freshness on the finish.
