It is made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes from vineyards located among gentle, well-exposed hills characterized by mineral-rich soils.

This double process gives the wine complexity and a subtle toasted note. Partial \u003cem\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/em\u003e (a natural process that softens acidity by transforming malic acid into lactic acid) gives the sip roundness and softness.
