VINIFICATION: From the vineyard the Chardonnay boxes are placed in a refrigeration cell that has a temperature of 4 ° C, for a duration of 24 - 36 hours. The grapes thus cool down and reach a temperature of 10 ° C. This process favors a better extraction of the varietal aromas. The cooled grapes are brought to the press for the soft pressing of the whole bunches, from which no more than 50% of the must is extracted. Subsequently, the controlled fermentation at a temperature between 15 and 17 ° C takes place for 70% in stainless steel tanks and for the remaining 30% in barriques and tonneaux. In the fermentation vessels the must matures and partially carries out the malolactic fermentation. Small percentages of wines from previous vintages contribute to the cuvée
