Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC 2023 is produced in the Steinhaus estate located almost 600 meters above sea level, in a position dominating the Adige valley. The property is thus made up of 7 hectares of vines. The climate of Bucholz di Salorno is characterized by strong temperature fluctuations. Indeed, the hot days are influenced by the Mediterranean climate but also the cold nights with very cool winds coming from the mountains.

Winemaking

After careful manual harvesting, the grapes undergo two different types of vinification: some are gently pressed whole; this is followed by vinification with low temperature fermentation partly in steel and partly in previously used wood (about 33% of the grapes). The rest of the grapes undergo a short period of maceration on skins in the press, lasting overnight, followed by fermentation in steel. All the batches are kept separate and left on the fine lees until August in the year following the harvest, with constant bâtonnage. The wine then ages in the bottle

After 4 to 5 days of maceration, the must wine is drawn off, separated from the marc and left to ferment at controlled temperature for another 5 to 6 days.

Granbruno Toscana IGT 2021 – Castello di Radda is produced in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in the municipality of Radda in Chianti.

Indeed, the Merlot vines are located in the coolest and most humid areas of the estate. This will avoid over-ripening the grapes and allow the Merlot to express its best qualities. For their part, the Sangiovese grapes are the same that the estate uses for its Chianti Classico. They will thus offer the Granbruno their freshness and elegance.

Winemaking
The alcoholic fermentation takes place in vats of 75 to 100 hectoliters for about 10 days while keeping the skins of the grapes. Then, the refinement will be done partly in vats and the other in barrels. The wine will then be bottled the summer after the harvest.
