F. Galliano Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay 2010

Winery

Borgo Maragliano is situated at 450 metres above the sea level, on a natural terrace of the Langhe Hills, in the heart of Loazzolo, a particular area crossed by the Marin, an onshore wind coming from the Mar Ligure which favours the maturation of the grapes, enhancing the aromas and the fragrances. 

Borgo Maragliano includes an area of 21 hectares of vineyards and the wine is vinified, bottled and packed by the members of the Galliano family who preserve a great respect for the traditions but at the same time make use of the most modern vinification techniques and methods with a new and efficient equipment.

Winemaking

The must obtained from the pressing of the Chardonnay grapes, in March of the following year after the harvest, is completely matured and it is bottled. It is added of sugar and yeasts and it achieves the re-fermentation in the bottle.
At the end of this process which gives origin to the distinctive and peculiar perlage, we assist at the maturation on the yeasts which lasts about 24 months.
During this period of permanence in the bottle, the wine loses its herbaceous distinctive features and it assumes a character which makes of it a very delicate and fine sparkling wine.
The procedures of “remuage” and “degorgement” prepare the wine to be drunk. The final product is ready to be consumed after three years from the time the grape was harvested.

Colour

Fine and intense Perlage, persistent and lively foam, a characteristic straw-coloured yellow nuance with clear greenish glints.

Palate

The taste is long, harmonious and fashinating
