Vineyard and terroir
Selected Chardonnay comes from several hillside vineyards in Oltradige at 450–500 m. The vines are 18–25 years old and trained to Guyot. Their mineral-rich glacial moraine soils are formed over volcanic porphyry.
Grapes
100% Chardonnay.
Vinification
The fruit is picked by hand and transported in small containers to protect it from pressure. Whole bunches are pressed gently, after which the must is clarified by natural sedimentation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 12 and 15 hl oak barrels and is followed by malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
Twelve months on the lees in oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle.
