GRAPES

Chardonnay (100%) from the best vineyards in the 19 municipal areas of Franciacorta.

YIELD

9,500 kg of grapes per hectare with 60% must yield, equivalent to 7,600 bottles per hectare.

VINIFICATION

MATURATION

Assemblage of the cuvée in the spring following harvest. Second fermentation in the bottles and maturation sur lie for a minimum of 24 months followed by an additional 2 months after disgorgement.
