In the Vineyard:
The grapes are grown in the most suitable areas, on soils rich in clay and chalk, which contribute to obtaining structured and long-lived wines. The harvest is late, so the grapes are slightly over-matured, resulting in a higher sugar content. During the harvest, particular attention is paid to the health of the grapes in order to preserve their quality.
Winemaking :
After soft pressing, the must ferments directly in wood. In order to obtain a balanced and elegant product, second and third passage French oak barriques and large Slavonian barrels are used. The mix of the two woods ensures on the one hand the release of the noble tannins of the wood and on the other hand the preservation of the primary characteristics of the Chardonnay. After a period of ageing, the wine returns to the stainless steel tanks.
Varietal:
Chardonnay 100%
Tasting Notes:
To the sight the wine shows a straw yellow colour with golden reflexes. The nose immediately perceives an intense scent of vanilla, ripe pineapple and acacia flower. Warm, full and enveloping taste. Good acidity, persistence and length, which encourage, in addition to consumption when young, an interesting evolution in the bottle.
Alcohol by volume: 13.5%
