The Chardonnay rows, arranged east-west, are cultivated on a specific area of sandy-loam composition. Vineyard management is meticulously carried out according to climatic conditions, thanks to the predominantly manual work of our team. The grapes thus obtained reach perfect aromatic ripeness, allowing us to produce a wine of character with a strong mineral component.

Sommelier's Profile
COLOR:
Golden yellow, bright
AROMA:
Intense and complex, white-fleshed peach, yellow melon, broom, notes of bread crust on the finish
PALATE:
Balanced, clear mineral note, persistent and savory finish; the prolonged time on the lees gives a spiciness that almost recalls woody notes, a pleasant combination of the exchange during the months of aging
