Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Chardonnay is grown on the hills surrounding Vitalonga.
Grapes
100% Chardonnay.
Vinification
The grapes are picked during the early morning so that they arrive at the cellar intact, healthy and protected from the stress of daytime heat. Four hours of skin contact at 10°C precede transfer of the must to stainless-steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel, without malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures for approximately three months in second-use French-oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle before release. This brief oak passage contributes to its capacity to develop with age.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. Delicate aromas of ripe tropical fruit meet light citrus nuances. The palate is elegant and well structured, with mineral sensations, subtle hazelnut-butter notes and rich, complex vanilla aromas. Brisk acidity supports the structure, leading to a savoury finish and aftertaste.
Label / history
The first vintage was 2016.
