Territory and wine style

The Piemonte DOC denomination tells the story of a wine rooted in a territory historically suited for viticulture, where Chardonnay finds favorable conditions to express itself with balance. The grapes come from vineyards exposed to the south-southeast, at about 200 meters above sea level, on clay-limestone marl soils with a prevalence of silt. This combination contributes to finesse, structure, and a pleasant taste tension. The manual harvest and selection of the healthiest and ripest grapes confirm a careful approach to quality, while fermentation in barrique and aging on the lees with batonnage define a broader and richer style, without sacrificing the typical freshness of the grape variety.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow. On the nose, it offers aromas of exotic fruit, with hints of mango and banana, accompanied by fresh vegetal sensations reminiscent of green pepper. On the palate, it shows excellent structure, good softness, and a clear acidic vein that supports its development. The aging in barrique and the work on the lees add volume and depth, while the partially completed malolactic fermentation contributes to a more harmonious profile. The finish is consistent with a characterful Chardonnay, balanced and persistent.
