BRAMITO CHARDONNAY 2023

Wine Maker Notes

Bramìto della Sala, first produced in 1994, comes from Chardonnay vineyards surrounding the medieval Castello della Sala, where fossil-rich soils with veins of clay impart minerality and elegance. Freshly harvested grapes are destemmed, gently crushed, and briefly macerated at 10 °C (50 °F) for 2–4 hours to enhance aromatic complexity before clarification. Fermentation occurs in both stainless steel and oak vats at controlled temperatures of 16–18 °C (61–64 °F), with only the oak-fermented lots undergoing malolactic fermentation before blending and bottling.

The resulting wine shows a bright straw-yellow hue, with aromas of Golden apples, hawthorn, lemon pastry cream, vanilla, and biscuit. On the palate, it reveals creamy texture, lively sapidity, and subtle hints of citron zest, expressing the full varietal character of Chardonnay with elegance and freshness.
