Fermentation

From mid-September. The harvest is done entirely by hand into crates, only in the coolest hours of the day, to keep the bunches intact and at the right temperature.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the grapes are vinified separately in steel tanks. Only 5% of the Chardonnay is aged in new 225 l barriques. The cuvée is assembled in January, and the second fermentation begins in May.

Ageing on the lees

Time on the lees starts at 33 months. A further period in bottle after disgorgement lasts about 7 months for 0.75 l bottles and a year for 1.5 l bottles.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow. Persistent perlage, velvety and fine on the palate. The nose opens on flowers, exotic fruit and citrus, moving to more complex notes recalling burrata and white chocolate. In the mouth it is lean and savoury, without marked yeast character, with a freshness that invites another glass — the mark of Ribolla Gialla. Chardonnay makes it elegant and sinuous; Pinot Noir gives structure and makes it a wine for the table.

Food pairings

A fine match with fish, raw and cooked. Not with heavy sauces. Good with delicate pasta dishes, raw meats and cured meats.
