Ca' del Baio "Valentine" Langhe Chardonnay 2021, 750ml

“Valentìne” is the fruit of Valentina’s experimentation with Chardonnay grape vinification. A trial executed after her return from working at Domaine de Montille in Burgundy.

100% Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the Estate, planted in 1985 in calcareous soil with sandy marl, and north-east exposure.

The grapes are whole cluster pressed and decant overnight in tanks. Then transferred to 500L French oak barrels for fermentation. The process is followed by lees stirring and ageing. The wine is then racked to stainless steel tanks for a few more months before bottling.

Tasting Note:

Fresh bouquet reminiscent of wet stone, lemon oil, honey with a saline and savory taste at the end.
