Why we like it
A most beloved international variety, Chardonnay has found a superb terroir on the slopes of the Eastern hills of Friuli, showcasing its eclectic potential through elegant, complex and silky-smooth wines with a multitude of floral and fruity aromas. Mainly trained in the Guyot system, the vines of our Chardonnay benefit from marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin. The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes are harvested by hand, to preserve the integrity of the berry. Carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period, the fruit is then soft crushed and the must obtained is allowed to settle. The must ferments in temperature- controlled stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine settles on the lees for a few months to enhance savouriness, creaminess and aging potential. The bottled wine is then aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.
