Maxale
Chardonnay Macerato
Intense straw yellow colour with elegant golden hues. Intense and ripe fruit notes of apricot, peach and mango with spicy and balsamic tones. Rounded, structured and savoury with a refreshing, mineral touch.
Excellent with pork loin, roast chicken, salmon with aromatic herbs, fish pie or simply as an aperitif.
100% Chardonnay
The Chardonnay grapes are carefully selected from low-yielding vineyards in Puglia and Sicily, two Southern Italian regions, where this varietal can fully ripen.
The vines are trained using the Spalliera and Guyot method, at an average density of 5,500 vines per hectare.
The grapes are carefully hand-picked in mid to late August.
After the harvest, the bunches are de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place in contact with the skins at a controlled temperature of 16°C, in stainless steel tanks and terracotta amphorae.
After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with its skins for 45-60 days.
The skins are then gently pressed and separated from the wine, which remain on its lees, in stainless steel tanks, terracotta amphorae and barriques.
50% of the wine is aged for 5 months in French and American barriques.
