About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on east-facing hillsides in the municipality of Isera, at 200 to 400 metres above sea level. The well-drained soils are gravelly, calcareous, sandy-loam and basaltic. Warm Mediterranean days contrast with cool nights, which helps the grapes develop their full aromatic potential.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in September. After pressing, the juice undergoes static settling and ferments at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine is aged in steel tanks until bottling.

Tasting profile

Fresh and aromatic in character.

Label / history

Chardonnay came to Trentino from Burgundy more than a century ago. It is now one of the region's main grape varieties, used for both sparkling and still wines.
