About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Chardonnay grows in Piedmont, where the climate, soils and vineyard exposure provide favourable conditions for the variety.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed on arrival at the winery. The free-run must is fermented and held at low temperature until secondary fermentation, which takes place under pressure in a temperature-controlled tank according to the traditional Charmat-Martinotti method.

Ageing

The wine remains on its lees for an extended period.

Tasting profile

Young and lively, it has an intense, aromatic nose showing clear Chardonnay character. The palate is clean and fresh, with good structure and a pleasantly soft texture.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif.
