Training System: Guyot with a density of 7,300 vines per hectare.
Yield: 60 hectoliters per hectare.

Winemaking:
Hand-harvested grapes undergo a gentle pressing after a brief maceration period. The grape must is clarified by allowing impurities to settle slowly. Fermentation takes place in 500-liter wooden barrels (one-third of which is new wood). Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matures on coarse lees for 12 months in large wooden casks, with yeast kept in suspension through regular stirring. Subsequently, the wine is stored for an additional year in stainless steel tanks before bottling. In the bottle, the Chardonnay ages for an additional three months.
