Flavus originates from vineyards located in Parco dell’Eremo di Tizzano, between Casalecchio di Reno and Zola Predosa. The medium-textured clay soil and the North-West exposure support a balanced ripening of Grechetto Gentile grown under organic farming with biodynamic practices.
The grapes are hand-harvested and selected in small ventilated crates. After a gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature. The wine then undergoes bottle aging, which enhances aromatic complexity and structure.
Flavus is a white wine that combines freshness with depth, offering a clean and elegant interpretation of still Grechetto Gentile.
