Production technology

At the time of the vintage (harvest), after the first Summer thinning and selection, the grape is ripe and is carefully harvested towards the end of September. When the grape reaches the cellar it is softly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation of the must is carefully and constantly monitored at a temperature of 17-18°C and produces the first semblance of the Chardonnay wine. Crevoglio remains in steel tanks to mellow for a number of months until the wine is bottled at the end of January

Tasting notes

Intense and well blended with a straw-yellow colour and a clear greenish glow when it is young. It has a fresh aroma with fragrances of lime blossom, linden, hazel and ripe banana and its taste is well structured and well balanced. It has a delicate aftertaste which is reminiscent of its aromas and fragrances and confirms its special and genuine personality
