White wine is a wine that is fermented without skin contact. The colour can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, or yellow-gold. It is produced by the alcoholic fermentation of the non-coloured pulp of grapes, which may have a skin of any colour. White wine has existed for at least 4000 years.

This estate was purchased by the Sanfourche family in 1917 and is currently managed by the fourth generation winegrower, Jean-Louis Sanfourche. Planted mostly in clay and limestone, the wines are clean, well-made, and vinified exclusively in cement, no oak used.
Brilliant golden robe. Attractive complex nose of acacias, white flowers, lemon, and a touch of honey. Light, fruity mouth with flavors of candied fruits and dry apricots. Long on the palate with backbone, reflecting good acidic balance. Excellent ageing potential.
PALATE : Green apple, candied orange peel, and baking spices anchor a panoply of vineyard flavors. Seamlessly interwoven between each is fresh, bright acidity along with incredible minerality and depth that slowly build texture and weight.
FINISH : The contrast between silky toast and sweet pear highlights an exceedingly rich finish that will only become more supple and dynamic with age.
A rich, full, aromatic mid-palate to complement the clean finish. These are the perfect go-to whites that pair well with anything from fish to poultry, picnic fare to Indian curries.

Wine is rich with tannins creating balance. A complex bouquet of ripe fruits, apricot, pear, and quince is mixed with honey and dried nuts tones which makes the wine soft and tasty. 6 months on the skins.
The Ciavolichs were wool merchants from Bulgaria who built the family’s first cellar in 1853, one of the oldest wine making structures in Abruzzo. Chiara Chiavolich, the current generation owner, comes from a family of strong women. She strives to keep agricultural, wine and historical heritage intact in order to pass it on to future generations through sustainability. Ciavolich wines are made with both contemporary and ancient vinification techniques, respectful of the original variety and territory producing wines that are straightforward, clean and with deep spirit.
The Aries is made with 100% Pecorino. These grapes come from one hectare of pergola abruzzese planted in 2000 on the Ciavolich’s Pianella estate and from one hectare of cordon-double guyot in Loreto Aprutino planted in 2011. The grapes are hand harvested at dawn and carried directly to the winery in small baskets where they are then pressed softly and fermented in stainless under controlled temperature. Once fermentation ends, a small part of the wine is moved into 2009 French oak tonneaux for three months. Then the wines are reunited and bottled and continue aging for about two months.
The palate is medium-full-bodied with fresh acidity and tastes like wet rock, straw, honey, and sea salt.
All fruit was direct pressed and settled before racking to neutral French oak barrels for primary fermentation and aging. Sulfur at bottling is the only addition to the wine.
