Cheeky White – Chiappe Chiare

Sparkling White Wine 2023 made with 100% Glera grapes from vines located in the hills of Premaor, Refrontolo e Rua di Feletto, Treviso, Veneto, Italy. Chiappe Chiare or Cheeky White is bottled with indigenous yeasts, “sui lieviti” in Italian. This wine goes through a first fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperatures, it is bottled in the spring time following the harvest. With the warmer temperatures of spring the newly bottled wines finish the fermentation converting the residual sugar to CO2 to make a sparkling wine.  AMIVINE uses naturally sun-dried grape must to start fermentation.

The Glera is a real classic among Italian white wines. The Glera grape comes from the Veneto region and has been cultivated there for many centuries. Its characteristic feature is its high yield , which allows winemakers to produce larger quantities of wine.

Glera is primarily associated with Prosecco, it is vinified in a variety of styles and expressions. In addition to sparkling wines, there are also still wines, semi-sparkling wines and frizzante (lightly sparkling wines) made from Glera. This diversity allows winemakers to present Glera in different ways and to cater to consumers’ taste preferences.

The concept of AMIVINI started with a simple idea to make wines, in the most natural way possible, whilst promoting female wine makers. AMIVINI finds that the wine world is highly male dominated; incredibly so in Italy, and theu wanted to create a female orientated company making great wines with great women.
