How it looks
Light and compact golden yellow.
Aroma
A smooth and elegant Chardonnay. It gives us slightly toasted notes, white wisteria and jasmine, white pepper, exotic fruits and hints of dried fruit
Taste
Palate with excellent correspondence between smell and taste. Even more delicate than previous vintages. Pleasant sapidity and acidity, characteristics derived from our terroir. Ageing in acacia and oak barrels helps to smooth out any sharpness, imparting softness and complexity
Perfect match with
Chardonnay for the whole meal. Ideal with stuffed vegetarian pies. Perfect with Spaghetti Terreni alla Maggia with seafood and scallops, flavoured with yuzu salt. Stuffed omelettes. Rich aperitifs.
Vinification
Manual grape harvest in the first half of September. Fermentation in stainless steel and then in barrique.
Aging
Matured in french oak and acacia barriques for about 12 months
Vintage
Very rainy and cool spring followed by a sunny and dry summer. Thanks to a favorable September, the grapes achieved good ripening
Storage
2026-2030
