Tasting note
Elegant and beautifully layered, with aromas of ripe peach, citrus, pineapple and toasted hazelnut, complemented by hints of vanilla and flint. The palate is rich yet vibrant, combining creamy texture with fresh acidity, subtle oak spice and a long, mineral finish.
Vineyard
Selected vineyards at an altitude of approx. 400-550 m a.s.l. A very dry site, medium-structure morainal soils with a sand and gravel composition; the microclimate is cool, with striking contrasts between day and night time temperatures.
Viticulture
The Chardonnay grapes are grown in selected high-altitude vineyards in Alto Adige, where cool alpine nights, warm sunny days and mineral-rich soils encourage slow, even ripening. Low yields and careful canopy management produce fruit with exceptional concentration, vibrant acidity and precise varietal expression.
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed before fermentation in French oak barriques. The wine undergoes regular bâtonnage while maturing on its fine lees for around 10 months, followed by bottle ageing. This careful élevage adds richness, texture and complexity while preserving the freshness and elegance of the Chardonnay.
Food Match
An incredible complement to rich fish dishes such as poached skate with mint cream sauce, Dover sole, Cicatelli pasta with fresh crab, stirfried scallops with ginger and the perfect partner to chicken and veal.
