Winemaking
San Michele is the Deltetto flagship when it comes to white wines. One half of fermentation takes place in steel tanks and the other in wooden oak barrels. The subsequent maturing is carried out in the exact same way.
Our tasting note
The Arneis San Michele has a straw-yellow colour and flavours of exotic fruits, apples as well as a hint of vanilla resulting from the maturing in wooden barrels. The maturing in wood barrels also subtly gives the Arneis a wide spectrum of flavours and a greater depth of taste.
Deltetto
The friendly and modest Antonio Deltetto took over the family business in 1977 and transformed the former trading cellar into a pure self-pressing operation. The winery now spans over 21 hectares of vineyards. The main focus is on the white superstar Arneis, but the Deltettos also show healthy ambition and great skill in red wines. Today, the children Carlo, Cristina, and Claudia continue the family tradition - in harmony with nature, as their grandfather Carlo (affectionately called "Carlin") taught them.
