The Nera is NOT a special selection of the Bianca wine.  This exceptional and rare wine (100 cases of 300 made make it to the US) is produced only in the finest vintages. It comes from a special selection of grapes harvested from several particularly well-placed parcels within the appellation (frequently from the Silanc and Siei vineyard sites).

The winemaking is the same here EXCEPT the Nera is aged for at least three years prior to bottling, the “elevage” is done primarily in small barrels, only a small percentage of which are new.

The Nera gets all of the same TLC and is essentially made the same way as the Bianca except that it sees small barrels and a tiny portion of new French oak for the maturation of the wine before bottling.
