LANGHE DOC CHARDONNAY
2022
75cl
Grape variety: Chardonnay WINE
Ernesto Dellapiana was a pioneer of Chardonnay in the Langhe; to demonstrate this, the first system dates back to the 70s. The company has always dedicated the slopes with the least sunny exposures to this varietal, thus aiming for maximum freshness. The decision not to use "woods" either in fermentation or in aging underlines the search for a tense and mineral style. The citrus references and the pleasant acidity make it easy to drink.
Serving temperature: 8-10°C.
WINEMAKING
Harvest:
manually in boxes, between the end of August and the beginning of September (with possible variations depending on the seasonal climate trend). Pressing and Fermentation:
after harvesting the grapes immediately undergo soft pressing. The alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature then begins; malolactic fermentation is not carried out.
Refinement:
in steel tank for about six months with repeated battonages; bottling takes place in the spring following the harvest.
