Description
Still white wine from the Langhe, Piedmont, 12.5% ABV, produced by Cascina Orizzonte. 100% Chardonnay, 2022 vintage. A wine that expresses the essence of Chardonnay from the Langhe, with a winemaking process that enhances its freshness and elegance. Cascina Orizzonte was born from the idea of two friends, Enrico Dogliotti and Riccardo Rosso, who in 2014 attempted to vinify a small batch of grapes driven by their passion for wine and love for the region. The grapes are estate-grown and come from Enrico's parents' farm, which cultivates Moscato d'Asti, Barbera d'Asti, and Chardonnay vineyards, drawing on decades of experience. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel for a variable length depending on the vintage. Subsequent aging in used barriques and stainless steel for approximately 9 months. Further aging in bottle for at least 9 months.

Grapes are owned and come from the farm of Enrico's parents, who work Moscati d'Asti, Barbera d'Asti and Chardonnay vineyards, with the experience gained in decades of activity.
The goal is to produce wines in an artisanal way, without altering the characteristics of grapes and keeping the typicality of the vineyards used: our wines must enter the market at the right time, without haste.
The goal is to expand skills and knowledge vintage after vintage, experimenting with different types of fermentation and aging.
