Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay

Tasting: This is a classic vintage that embodies the authentic charm of Chardonnay from the Menfi area.

Production method: All harvested grapes are hand-picked and placed into 16kg small boxes, then chilled to 12-14°C. After destemming and crushing, they are gently pressed, followed by static settling at a low temperature of 6-7°C. Only the clarified must is racked and transferred to 225L Allier oak barrels, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at approximately 17-19°C for 5-7 days. After fermentation, it is aged on its primary lees, with bâtonnage performed once a week for the first 5 months, then once every 14 days, undergoing approximately 11 months of aging before final bottling. Aging uses 225L Allier oak barrels (40% new barrels, 30% second-use barrels, 30% third-use barrels).

Pairing: Pasta or risotto with mushrooms, truffles, or saffron; rich fish dishes; stewed white meats.
