Notes : Yellow fruit, ripe peach, vanilla and jasmine. Balanced, fresh and very soft. It acquires elegance and complexity thanks to the refinement in barriques.

Vinification & Aging: The grapes are softly pressed and the resulting must is placed in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 10°C, in order to obtain a natural decantation. The Chardonnay is then transferred into new French and Hungarian oak barriques, where it undergoes alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature. This is followed by refinement in barriques on the fine lees, during which malolactic fermentation occurs. The Fiano, on the other hand, is fermented in steel, at a temperature of 16°C, in order to enhance the notes of freshness and acidity. In January, the Chardonnay in the barriques is transferred to steel with the Fiano and the other part of the Chardonnay, and bottled a few months later. Further refinement in the bottle follows before being marketed.
