Chardonnay “Fosche”

After soft crushing and a short time of cold maceration, the free run juice ferments to develop the characteristic aromas.  This is followed by malolactic fermentation and at least 3 months aging on the lees in steel vats. To improve the wines complexity and age-ability, anywhere up to 15% of wine from the previous vintage (aged in barriques) is blended and finally bottled.

Straw yellow color with intense and complex notes of ripe fruit, white flowers and butter. On the pallet there is fresh fruits of apple and banana.  Great acidity with a long creamy finish.
