LANGHE DOC CHARDONNAY

THE WINE

Ernesto Dellapiana was one of the pioneers of Chardonnay in the Langhe area, having been one of the first to plant this vine in 1978. The family has reserved the less sunny slopes for this grape variety, wanting to reach absolute freshness. Looking to achieve a taut mineral quality, no wooden barrels were used during fermentation or aging. The wine is rich in citrus scents, with a high acidity that makes it pleasantly drinkable.
Serving Temperature: 8-10°C.

VINIFICATION

manual in small crates, from the end of August to the beginning of September (with slight variations depending on weather conditions). Pressing and fermentation:
