Description:

THE VINE’S SELECTION

The blend that gives life to our Federico II Vintage represents the perfect synthesis of the outcomes coming from the agronomic research held on the clones of Chardonnay for over forty years. This wine shows an impressive aging potential. We selected plants with diverse genetic profiles, using different cultivation methods, to obtain an excellent acidity and optimal sugar level in the grapes, in addition to well characterized flavours precursors.
