GRAPE VARIETY

This varietal wine is made from Chardonnay grapes, grown in the winery’s Raballa and Collinetta vineyards, where they are manually harvested.

VINIFICATION

Whole cluster grapes are soft-pressed right after picking.

Part of the must is fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures.

The remaining must is stored in steel containers at 0º C so that the low temperature prevents fermentation, thus preserving the must sugars, which will be needed to set off later fermentation in pressure resistant vats.

A few months after the harvest the wine is composed: a part coming from the dry base and a part from the must with high residual sugar.

As a result of this process, and with the addition of selected yeasts, a second natural fermentation is made possible, in pressure resistant vats, thus obtaining a sparkling wine.
