Description
Alma is a late-harvest wine made from partially botrytised Verdicchio grapes. A rich and enveloping wine, it combines intensity, depth and elegance – hallmarks of Tenuta Grimaldi’s winemaking style.
Harvest and Winemaking
The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, with the finest bunches carefully selected. Particular care is taken in selecting the grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), excluding those that do not display the optimal characteristics.
Vinification takes place at a controlled temperature, so as to preserve and enhance the grapes’ aromatic profile. This is followed by a period of ageing in the bottle, during which the wine acquires greater complexity, harmony and depth of expression.
ALMA
The harvest is carried out by hand in several stages, so as to select only those bunches that have achieved the perfect balance between ripeness and the development of noble rot. This staggered harvest allows us to regulate the yield and exclude grapes or parts of bunches that are unsuitable for winemaking.
Pressing is carried out slowly and gradually to ensure a gentle and controlled extraction of the must. Once fermentation is complete, the wine matures on its fine lees until bottling, developing complexity, structure and balance.
The subsequent bottle ageing, which lasts on average several years, varies depending on the style of the wine and the characteristics of each vintage.
