White wines 

Enthusiasts of the world of wine are often clearly divided: lovers of red wines (who celebrate them on every occasion) and lovers of whites (equally convinced). In reality, comparisons cannot be made: every situation, every state of mind, and also every dish, requires an appropriate wine which, not necessarily, must always have the same color.

White wine: pairings, variety of tastes and sensations

The great Gewuerztraminer or Riesling d'Alsace, for example, so long-lived and particular; or the great Chardonnay of Montrachet in Burgundy: And when we mention Italian wines we cannot forget the great autochthonous wines of "our house": the Piedmontese Arneis, the Friulian Ribolla , the Verdicchio from the Marches, the Greco and the Campanian Fiano, the Sardinian Vermentino or the Sicilian Grillo, just to name a few. So let us seduce ourselves by the versatility of white wines , their colours, their aromas and their flavours, so different and so exciting.

Given the huge variety of wines, there isn't a single option for pairing. Aromatic white wines such as  Gewürztraminer are combined with fish or even with boiled meat; a dry wine like Vermentino is ideal with seafood; for cheeses an acidic wine is preferred, which also goes well with shellfish. There are also white dessert wines such as Malvasia.

White wine: how the production takes place

The white wine is obtained from both black and white berried grapes; this process is called white winemaking . To obtain the typical colour, after destemming, the must (the noble part) must be drained. Through this process the skins and seeds are separated from the liquid part, before the fermentation phase starts. In this way the skins do not leave the substances which give colour, as opposed to what happens with red wines.
