About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are 20 years old and grow in Salento, where plentiful sunny days bring the grapes to optimal ripeness.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in early September. Fermentation takes place under strict temperature control at 18 °C to preserve the fresh fruit character of Chardonnay.

Ageing

The wine is aged for 5 months in oak barrels, which give it richness, a creamy texture and spicy hints of vanilla.

Tasting profile

Fresh, lively and aromatic, with depth and softness. Richness and a creamy texture come from the oak, along with spicy vanilla notes.

Serving and pairing

Serve chilled. Depth and softness make it a good match for fish and seafood dishes.

Vintage notes

No weather information is given for the 2025 vintage.

Label / history

The wine began as an experiment, inspired by local winemakers' wish to express the character of the terroir through Chardonnay while following regional traditions.
