Vinification

Only the best grapes can become part of the special cuvée destined to make Flavio: Chardonnay grapes harvested and picked by hand in the best suited vineyards on the hills of Valle dell’Adige. The soil plots are carefully selected according to the vintage at altitudes ranging from 820 to 2,600 feet a.s.l. and boast a good balance of clay and lime which gives the grapes  power and minerality.
Only a part of the wine is allowed to ferment in barrique, so that the hints of wood give the base wine only a delicate aromatic and sensory richness, thus maintaining its balance and freshness. In the cellar, the passig of time performs magic: the bottle’s particular curvature, designed to let yeast deposit only on a small surface, leads to an even slower organoleptic evolution. A prolonged resting period of several months enriches the wine with bubbles and ennobles its aromas, to the point of exulting its union with the expedition liqueur, the winery's secret: Flavio is created.
