About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Chardonnay is grown in the municipality of Ottiglio Monferrato.

Vinification

After a short maceration, the grapes are pressed. The must begins alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 18–20°C, then completes fermentation in small French oak barrels until the sugars are fully fermented.

Ageing

The wine rests for several months in the same small French oak barrels used to complete fermentation.

Tasting profile

The nose is fruity, while the palate is well balanced and persistent.

Label / history

The label was created by the artist Alessandro Luppano (1925–2000).
