Vinification of Bottega's Chardonnay

The vinification of the Chardonnay begins in the vineyard, where carefully selected grapes come from optimal locations. These sites are characterized by well-aerated soils and plenty of light, which impart their character strength to the grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested at the ideal ripening moment to preserve their aromatic intensity.

After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by a cool fermentation process. This fermentation takes place partially in oak barrels, giving the wine additional depth. The aging lasts for several months, during which the wines mature on their lees. This process yields an enticing smoothness and complex aromas. A careful malolactic fermentation rounds out the wine's taste and imparts it with lively freshness.
