MAZZOLINO- Chardonnay
Blanc
Chardonnay Blanc is made of 100% Chardonnay. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately pressed and chilled. It is barrel-fermented and barrel-aged in French oak. The oak barrels are 25% new Troncais or Allier wood. Mazzolino uses the technique of “batonnage” which consists of stirring the lees at the bottom of the barrel, making the wine softer, creamier and more complex. After one year, the wine is ready for bottling. Chardonnay Blanc is gold in color and is rich and complex with ample flavors reminiscent of citrus fruit, hazelnuts, vanilla and honey. The total production is 10,000 bottles per year.
