CHF 29.00 inc. VAT
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Rich and complex, with aromas of ripe white fruits such as peach and pear, beautifully balanced by toasted and vanilla notes from the French oak aging.
Palate
Full-bodied and smooth, offering flavors of citrus, honey, and tropical fruits, with a creamy texture and a vibrant acidity. The finish is long, persistent, and sophisticated, revealing hints of toasted almonds and a touch of minerality.
Wine Making
Vinification
Produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the "La Piana" vineyard, known for its high limestone content. After a gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in French barriques to develop rich flavors and complexity.
Aging
The wine is aged for 10 months on fine lees in French oak barrels, with frequent batônage to enhance its texture and depth.
