WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Fosche Chardonnay 2023 is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes within the Piemonte DOC. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with temperatures carefully managed between 18-20 °C to preserve varietal aromas. Some sources indicate the potential for malolactic fermentation and aging on lees to add complexity. The wine is primarily aged in stainless steel to maintain clarity and freshness, though a small percentage may see oak aging. A portion of the previous harvest may also be blended in.
