About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Murazzano at an altitude of 700 m, with a southerly exposure. The vines are Guyot-trained. The soil contains less than 20% clay and a comparatively high proportion of sand.

Grapes

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vinification

The grapes undergo soft pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in tanks for four weeks at 18 °C. The wine is bottled for the prise de mousse within six months of harvest, initiating the second fermentation in bottle.

Ageing

The wine matures on its lees in bottle for approximately 30–40 months before release.

Serving and pairing

Pair with raw fish dishes, appetizers and charcuterie boards.
