Vineyard

The Bocca di Lupo estate is planted on poor, chalky soil at 250 metres above sea level; the vines are trained using the double Guyot method, and the Chardonnay harvest typically begins in mid-August. The Masseria Maìme estate to the south runs along the coast and features a mixture of bush vines and newer cordon-trained plantings. Here Chardonnay is picked from the first half of August. Eighty percent of the grapes for this Chardonnay come from the Masseria Maìme estate with the remainder from Bocca di Lupo.

Winery

The grapes were pressed softly and the must put in tanks at a temperature of 10°C to achieve natural clarification. The must was fermented at 15ºC in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts, and aged briefly in tank before bottling.
