Langhe DOC Chardonnay

Winemaking Philosophy

The vineyards for this Chardonnay are located on soils from South-Eastern to South-Western exposures and at an average altitude of 400 m above sea level. This high-altitude helps to maintain a bright acidity and to ensure longevity to the wine.

After soft crushing and a short period of cold maceration, the fermentation occurs in barrique as the following malolactic fermentation with continous batonnage to extract some of the texture and complexity the noble lees can offer.
