The \"Superiore\" designation stands for lower yields and greater ripeness in the glass compared to the standard Bianchello – denser, more aromatic, and with more substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelso Bianchello del Metauro Superiore DOC 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e by Azienda Guerrieri is the house's selection tier within the Bianchello family, named \"Celso\" after a specific plot along the Metauro river; it is more concentrated and drier than the classic Bianchello del Metauro DOC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat \"Superiore\" means for this wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Italian wine law, the additional designation \"Superiore\" is not a marketing term but is tied to strict requirements: lower yields per hectare and a higher minimum alcohol content than the standard DOC. For Celso, this means a stricter selection of grapes and a more concentrated, denser wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Luca Guerrieri, the grapes for Celso come from a dedicated, particularly sun-exposed plot along the Metauro, where the family has deliberately accepted lower yields for years to achieve greater concentration in the berries. Harvest occurs later than for the standard Bianchello, usually at the beginning of October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, just like the standard Bianchello, but Celso is subsequently aged on its fine lees for longer – months instead of weeks – which gives it more creaminess on the palate without losing acidity. This step ultimately makes the biggest difference between the two Bianchello tiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrated, dry, and with more depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, Celso is spicy, powerful, and dense, with significantly more substance than the classic Bianchello. With only 3.5 g\/l of residual sugar, it is noticeably drier, while the slightly higher alcohol content provides more fullness in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelso demonstrates its strength when paired with grilled sea bass or sea bream, a fish soup with saffron, or seared scallops – dishes where a standard Bianchello would quickly seem too thin. It also unfolds its depth when paired with an aged Pecorino from the Marche region or a hearty, spicy fish soup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the same producer, it pairs perfectly with a plate of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/guerrieri-spaghetti-n7-aus-senatore-cappelli\"\u003eSpaghetti n.7 made from Senatore Cappelli\u003c\/a\u003e with mussels, or a spoonful of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/guerrieri-miele-millefiori-honig-250g\"\u003eMiele Millefiori\u003c\/a\u003e with a mild goat cheese as a finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA dedicated plot within the estate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guerrieri family has been managing their estate on the Metauro since around 1800, now in its 6th generation under Luca Guerrieri and his children, Alberto and Maria Giulia. Of the 207 hectares, 48 hectares are dedicated to vines, a small portion of which is reserved for Celso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winery has been farming sustainably since 2004, without the use of chemical fertilizers. For you as a connoisseur, this means a smaller but significantly more concentrated bottling than the standard Bianchello – a wine for occasions that deserve a bit more attention than an everyday aperitivo, and one that also keeps well in the cellar for a year or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to compare the difference directly, you can also find the classic Bianchello del Metauro DOC from the same estate in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/azienda-guerrieri-wein\"\u003eAzienda Guerrieri wine collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ea white wine and its values\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegion Marche\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAppellation Bianchello del Metauro Superiore DOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWinery Azienda Guerrieri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVintage 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety Bianchello (Biancame)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e12.5% vol. alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e6.9 g\/l acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 g\/l residual sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Azienda Guerrieri","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53074033082702,"sku":"001GUE002","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 x 750 ml","offer_id":60202012606798,"sku":"001GUE002_6","price":63.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/guerrieri-celso-bianchello-del-metauro-superiore-doc-2023.jpg?v=1751012004","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/guerrieri-celso-bianchello-del-metauro-superiore-doc-2023","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
