White Vinification
It is called this way the productive process that takes place without contact between the skins and the must in other words without maceration.
The grapes are brought to the cellar in 15kg crates where they will remain for at least 24 hours in an blast chilling cell to preserve the aroma and break down the temperature.
Subsequently the grapes are selected on a vibrating platform, manually loaded in a hopper and through a conveyor belt into a pneumatic press.
The pressure applied is very slight, so as to avoid tearing stems and seeds, but sufficient to ensure the release of the must.
Then the grapes are fermented at temperatures of 14-15 ° C in order to ensure the maximum formation of aromas.
They will be left to decant at a low temperature in order to ensure the greatest clarity and brilliance.
The Chardonnay is made in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to continue its aging period that will culminate with the bottling.
Press with CO2 recycling to reduce environmental impact
We process the grapes in total absence of oxygen inoculating CO2.
To reduce to the minimum CO2 emissions we use an air balloon that recycles the gas up to twenty pressings, safeguarding the environment.
Grapes washer with a water recirculation pump
The grapes are hand harvested and put into 15kg crates and entirely washed. A water recirculation pump and special filters reduce the water consumption.
