Mare is a white wine produced by the Benvenuto winery from Zibibbo and Malvasia grapes. After gentle pressing, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at approximately 15°C. Once fermentation is complete, an initial racking removes the coarse lees, and maturation continues in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats on fine lees, followed by further aging in the bottle.
