WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Piemonte Chardonnay Pier Giorgio Savigliano involves soft pressing of the Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures, typically around 18°C, in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine usually refines in stainless steel tanks, with some instances of aging on fine lees for a few months. The harvest is generally conducted in late August or early September. The winemaking philosophy at Pier Giorgio Savigliano is rooted in generational knowledge and a dedication to preserving the natural characteristics of the grapes and the terroir.
