Production Details Chardonnay and Timorasso are harvested and vinified separately. After pressing, the must is held cold overnight; fermentation proceeds under temperature control in stainless steel with selected yeasts. The wine is racked for natural clarification, undergoes no malolactic fermentation, and rests on its lees in steel until bottling, typically in late spring of the following year. No barrique aging is used.
