Vinification of CH Chardonnay Riserva DOC by Pitzner

The cultivation of the grapes takes place in carefully selected sites known for their ideal microclimate and calcareous soil. These conditions promote the slow and even ripening of the Chardonnay grapes and ensure excellent concentration of aromas.

The harvest is carried out predominantly by hand in the early morning hours to optimally preserve the freshness of the grapes. Afterwards, the berries are gently pressed to retain the delicate fruit.

Vinification begins with a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at approximately 18 °C. This preserves the freshness and the fine fruity notes of the wine. Afterwards, the wine matures for at least 12 months in French oak barriques, carefully selected to integrate fine vanilla and toasted notes. Regular bâtonnage – stirring of the lees – promotes creaminess and gives the wine its velvety structure.

Finally, the wine undergoes gentle filtration and is bottled without the addition of unnecessary substances to preserve its characteristic purity and authenticity. This produces a top-class Riserva that impressively reflects the nature of its terroir and the passion of the winemaker.
