Amaltea

The Arctico winery was born in the late 90s following the acquisition of vineyards between Aprilia and the Lanuvini Hills. Once the old vineyards were explanted, they were planted among the most important clones of international variety, in order to enhance the favorable climatic conditions and the characteristic limestone composition of the Pontine countryside and the Roman countryside. In 2012 the vineyards seem ready to give the first positive results and so it was, reaching today the goal of 16,000 bottles a year obtained from illustrious varieties such as Malvasia Puntinata, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Amaltea is obtained from Trebbiano Ugni Blanc grapes vinified in purity. The harvest is done manually in the first half of September, and the grapes are gently de-stemmed and softly pressed. The must is clarified by static decantation and then left to ferment at controlled temperature in steel. After fermentation the wine remains on the lees for a month and undergoes several battonage, and once bottled it rests two months in the cellar before being marketed. The result of such care is a structured and fat white, which maintains a pleasant freshness.
