The vineyards benefit from a rich variety of \u003cstrong\u003emicroclimates and soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give complexity to the grapes grown using the \u003cstrong\u003espur-pruned cordon\u003c\/strong\u003e method.

The grapes are hand-harvested during the coolest hours of the morning to preserve the aromatic integrity of the \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the winery, the process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003epre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e at low temperature. Subsequently, the must ferments and matures following a dual path: part in stainless steel to maintain freshness and part in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to give the wine greater roundness. This approach ensures a perfect synthesis between expressive clarity and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name In Avane originates from the Etruscan term Avenal, paying homage to the historic heritage of the San Felice estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga.
