7,500 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 5100 litres of wine (must-to-fruit

Vinification
The base wines for White are obtained from meticulously selected
grapes skilfully vinified in full compliance with classic Method.
As soon as the grapes are picked, using small cases, they are graded and
chilled. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts for base wines
ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks, where the wines remain until
the following March. Seven more monthsof ageing are necessary for the wine
to clarify, mature and disclose the character of its vineyard of provenance.
Subsequently, the wines are carefully blended with reserve wines from the best
vintages (up to 25 %) in the magic ritual of making the cuvée.
The essence of Brda made the Silveri way. Only after a maturation period that
averages 24 months will this Brdaclassic be ready to express all the sumptuous
depth of its personality.
