The vineyards are cultivated in a strict \u003cstrong\u003ealpine environment\u003c\/strong\u003e, set on steep slopes at an altitude between 450 and 680 metres. The vines take root in \u003cstrong\u003emorainic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a loose, sandy texture. These soils are shallow, rich in stones and slightly alkaline, with minimal clay content. Such extreme geological and climatic conditions impart the wine with its unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003efreshness and savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e, fully enhancing the essence of mountain viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-picked in a single pass from vines trained using Guyot, bush vine and spur cordon methods. Vinification in steel begins with a \u003cstrong\u003ecold skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e to delicately extract the aromatic essence from the skins. The subsequent fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the clarity of the fruit. Ageing continues for five months in steel tanks, where the wine rests on fine lees with \u003cstrong\u003efrequent bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e. This meticulous process gives greater texture and aromatic purity to a product that is also ideal for those following a \u003cstrong\u003evegan diet\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChambave Muscat DOC 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e from La Crotta di Vegneron expresses a truly Alpine vocation, born from expert manual harvesting on steep moraine soils located between 450 and 680 metres above sea level.
