The Costacielo Bianco by Lunarossa is a wine that encapsulates the soul of the beautiful Salerno coastline and the sky that reflects in its sea. The harmony generated by the aging of the local white grape, Fiano, in ancestral clay containers, local amphorae rediscovered to nurture the identity of this wine according to the historical tradition of the past, is fascinating.
The vines of 20 years of age from which the grapes for the Costacielo Bianco are sourced are located on clay-limestone soils, at an altitude of 180-250 meters above sea level, excellently exposed to East/West and cultivated organically. The entire area is protected behind the Picentine and Irpinian peaks and is greatly influenced by the sea breezes coming from the Gulf of Salerno. The cellar work involves fermentation of the grapes in steel tanks at controlled temperature. The aging of the grapes requires a period of at least 6 months in terracotta amphora.
The Costacielo Bianco is pale golden yellow in appearance. Intriguing on the nose with aromatic sensations that fade from hints of exotic yellow fruit to honey, hazelnut, dried fruit, and yellow flowers. On the palate, marine notes are perceived. With a tasty freshness and sapidity, and a beautiful verticality noticeable during drinking and a persistent finish. A decidedly surprising and complex wine.
