Climate and Harvest

The climate of 2023 was characterized by a winter season with mild temperatures and intense rainfall, which guaranteed a good water reserve in the soil. Spring was cooler than usual due to continuous rain, while summer saw a significant increase in temperatures and long days of light, favoring excellent flowering and fruit set. The August rains re-established a correct vegetative balance, allowing the plants to mature in optimal conditions. The Pinot Blanc harvest began in the first week of September, accompanied by sunny days with mild temperatures.

Winemaking Process

The harvested grapes were vinified separately by vineyard to preserve their territorial identity. After destemming and soft pressing, the must was cooled to 10°C to promote its natural clarification. After 48 hours, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature not exceeding 16 °C. The wine was then stored in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 10°C until bottling, thus maintaining the freshness and aromatic integrity of the wine.
