Vintage details

2019 in Piedmont was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with a warm summer but without excesses and a dry autumn that favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. This balance allowed for a Chardonnay with an intense aromatic profile and a structure perfectly balanced between freshness and body.

Winemaking and aging

After manual harvesting of the grapes at the right degree of ripeness, the bunches are softly pressed to preserve the purity of the fruit. The must ferments in barriques (small French oak barrels) for about two weeks, developing complex aromas and a softer texture. This is followed by 20 months of aging, also in barriques, during which bâtonnage is practiced, a technique consisting of periodically stirring the lees at the bottom to enrich the wine in roundness and structure. The result is a Chardonnay of great balance, with a perfect combination of freshness and toasted and buttery notes.
