Vinification

Chardonnay is an average – early varietal with maturity reached around the end of August. Collected from the grapes, the vinification is partially covered by the air (a technique called “semi-reduction”), the settling is natural, and the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for several days in steel tanks. 15% of the must matures in wooden French barriques. Successively, the two components are united and conclude their maturation in steel. Finally, there is filtration, stabilization, and bottling.
