About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Chardonnay grows in Collio, in the communes of San Floriano del Collio, Cormons and Gorizia.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in September at optimal ripeness, which preserves their freshness and natural fruity sweetness. The must undergoes skin maceration at 12 °C for 12–16 hours, giving the wine a light structure and bringing out its fruit aromas. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages on the lees, which develops a complex, well-balanced character.

Tasting profile

Elegant, fresh and refined, with fruit aromas and a light structure.

Serving and pairing

Suited to light dishes.
