WINE DESCRIPTION
Cascina Degli Ulivi-Bellotti Semplicemente Bianco is a pure and artisanal white wine that epitomizes genuine simplicity. Produced by Cascina degli Ulivi, founded by Stefano Bellotti in 1977 in Novi Ligure, this wine is a hallmark of biodynamic viticulture in Italy. Sourced from various parcels of local Cortese grapes grown in harmony with the ecosystem on clay-limestone and clay-iron soils, the vineyards reflect a deep respect for nature. The hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pressing and spontaneous fermentation in large 110-hectoliter oak barrels, using only indigenous yeasts and completing malolactic fermentation. Unfiltered and free of added sulfites, Semplicemente Bianco offers an authentic expression of its terroir, delivering a fresh, immediate, and vibrant palate. This wine is a tribute to Bellotti's legacy and dedication to natural winemaking.
