Winemaking

Blangè combines organic practices in the vineyard with a modern style of winemaking. Considered a still white wine, Blangè is made in a unique manner. A natural level of dissolved CO2 is left in the wine upon bottling to present a light spritz upon opening. This “spritz” of CO2 is endogenous, being produced naturally by the yeast during the alcoholic fermentation. By cooling the tanks to 0 degrees, fermentation is stopped, a slight pressure (below 0.5 bar) is retained and 4–5 grams of residual sugar is left per liter.

Food Pairing

This wine will pair well with a wide variety of food and is lovely on its own, b-the-glass on any occasion.

When serving Blangè, winemaker Alessandro Ceretto routinely reminds consumers of Henry’s law of dissolved gases and their associated pressure (where the perception of CO2 is closely linked to the temperature of a wine when it is served) and Alessandro recommends enjoying this wine a bit colder
than most white wines.
