Scaia Garganega/Chardonnay 2023

The name "Scaia" is inspired by the peculiarity of the soil in which the vines have their roots: they are soils rich in stones, flakes, which in dialect are the "Scaie". The vineyards of origin are located in the hills north-east of Verona in the eastern Valpolicella.

Scaia Garganega / Chardonnay is an original wine, which differs from the tradition of Verona and Vicenza whites not only for its blend but also for the use of modern winemaking techniques.

Grapes are de-stemmed and before fermentation begins, the berries are cold macerated in the absence of oxygen for an hour in order to facilitate the extraction of flavor compounds. In the absence of oxygen and at a low temperature, the berries are gently pressed. Only the free-run must ferments at 13-14 ° C; then a weekly bâtonnage is practiced until bottling. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out.
