WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lungarotti Aurente Chardonnay 2019 is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Vinification typically involves fermentation in stainless steel, with some indications of barrique fermentation. The wine is then aged for 6 months in barrique, followed by 8 months of bottle aging prior to release. Periodic bâtonnage may be employed during aging to enhance texture and complexity.
