Caruso & Minini’Sciantone is a 100% pure Chardonnay wine towering above elegance and aroma. The perfect moment for harvest is the second week of August, when grapes reach a full level of ripeness. The cryomaceration comes about in stainless steel tanks for approximately 4/12 hours, followed by a soft grape pressing and six-week maturation step in American oak barriques, to conclude with bottling. A fresh and complex white wine, with intense aromas, generous on the nose and suitable for food&wine pairings.
