About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards have east-, south- and west-facing exposures. Their soils are predominantly clay, with a planting density of approximately 4,800 vines per hectare. The vines are trained using the “Gouyot” system.

Grapes

Chardonnay.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at full ripeness, generally around mid-September, collected in baskets and transported to the cellar. They are vinified as a white wine and undergo direct soft pressing. The must is immediately filtered, then fermented in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine remains in stainless steel until spring. After bottling, it undergoes a brief period of further maturation.

Technical data

  • Appellation: Langhe DOC Chardonnay
  • Alcohol: 12.5% vol.
  • Colour: straw yellow with golden highlights

Tasting profile

An elegant, straw-yellow wine with intense, broad and persistent fruit aromas, accompanied by a suggestion of yeast. Its fragrance is vinous, complex and fruit-driven. The palate is soft, dry and savoury, with finesse, freshness and good structure.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as a fresh aperitif and with starters, first courses and fish. It also complements both land- and seafood-based antipasti.
