CHARDONNAY
TRENTINO DOC

VINEYARD CHARACTERISTICS

Location of the vineyards Chardonnay gives its best results in hills up to 300 m above sea level on medium-textured soils, with a good limestone component, which gives freshness and elegance to the wine, and with a significant presence of clay, which gives body and structure.
Grape variety used 100% Chardonnay.
Training system Generally, the traditional Trentino Pergola is preferred, but Guyot can also be interesting for better aeration of the clusters.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING

HarvestCareful green management in the vineyard with timely thinning, if necessary, ensures grape yields per unit area within the limits set by the production regulations. The harvest usually starts from late August, selecting the ripest and healthiest clusters. Great attention is paid to delivering intact grapes to the winery.
Vinification The grapes are usually immediately separated from the stems and crushed. This is followed by soft pressing and must decantation, to start alcoholic fermentation with the right degree of clarity. At the end of fermentation, the wine is separated from the coarser lees.
Ageing Maturation usually takes place in stainless steel tanks, and if done on the finer lees, these are periodically suspended by batonnage.
