Assemblage of Chardonnay and Grechetto. The 2020 vintage was dry with a mild winter and warm summer, accelerating ripening. To preserve aromatic profile and freshness, nocturnal harvesting ensured grapes arrived cool. Utilizing gravity-flow vinification, destemmed berries underwent a four-hour skin maceration at 10°C before cold settling. Chardonnay components underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barriques, maturing until February before blending with stainless steel-vinified Grechetto. The final blend was bottle-aged for several months prior to release.
