About this wine

Vinification

Chardonnay and Grecanico were fermented separately, each at a carefully controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine was aged in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Fresh, with pleasant citrus notes.

Vintage notes

For the 2010 vintage, heavy rainfall at the end of autumn 2009 provided favourable conditions for the vines’ winter rest. Winter temperatures were typical, while late spring was rainy. Cool conditions continued until mid-summer, followed by a hot August that enabled the grapes to ripen fully.
