The white "Aurente" comes from Chardonnay vineyards cultivated in a medium hill area, on loose soils with sand presence, which rest on deep limestone layers. The cool continental climate favors a slow ripening of the grapes, which retain great freshness even at the time of harvest. The vines are planted in double guyot and cordon.spurred, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and yields that do not exceed 50 quintals/ha. After manual harvesting in small boxes, cryomaceration is carried out followed by fermentation in barrique. The wine then matures in wood, on fine lees with periodic bâtonnage, for another six months. The aging period is completed with 8 months in bottle before being released to the market.
