Maleto - Chardonnay ORGANIC
VINIFICATION METHOD
The grapes are vinified in white at a controlled temperature of 15-18° in stainless steel tanks.
When the vintage is favorable, we use a small percentage of skins on the total mass with a subsequent slow maturation.
The wine is refined in stainless steel tanks for at least 6 months and then finishes its refinement in the bottle for another 2 months.TERRAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Our Chardonnay vineyards were planted in 2007 in medium-textured soils with a prevalence of clay with sand and silt.
The vineyard area is approximately 2 hectares and is organically farmed.
The grapes come from the Poggio estates in the hills of San Pietro di Ozzano in the Colli d'Imola DOC area at an altitude of 80-90 m above sea level with the rows oriented from east to west.
The favorable and particular microclimate, characterized by a high temperature range between day and night and excellent ventilation even in the summer, allows us to obtain quality grapes and complex wines characterized by high acidity, freshness and longevity.DATA SHEET
