Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The Chardonnay is sourced from low-yielding vines of varying ages in Ca delle Vallade, where the microclimate permits a relatively late harvest, and from the south-western side of Mount Quarin. The Mount Quarin fruit is picked several days earlier, although its soil is very similar to that of Ca delle Vallade.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted to remove mouldy or damaged berries. Fruit from each plot is vinified separately, preserving traceability from bottle to vineyard. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must ferments in small French oak barrels, some new. After repeated tastings, the final cuvée is assembled and bottled.
Ageing
The wine matures for 9–10 months.
Tasting profile
Exceptionally precise and aromatic.
Label / history
Chardonnay Selezione is bottled separately only in selected vintages, using selected barrels.
