The Quaràs Chardonnay vineyard is caressed by valley and mountain breezes and lies on deep, fer ti le soils rich in clay that give this wine an austere character and a full body. Quaràs recalls aromas of yellow fruit, pineapple and orange peel that blend harmoniously with the sweet fl avour of caramel, to ff y and hazelnut. A fresh acidity reveals its Alpine origin.
Quaràs is the name of the French captain who led Napoleon’s troops in the assault on the castle of Segonzano (November 1796). The vineyard of the typical white Burgundian grape variety: Chardonnay, is dedicated to him. Located on the slopes of Monte Avvoltoio (Faver, Altavalle, 1,362 m asl) the Quaràs vineyard differs from other neighbouring vineyards due to the nature of its climate: well sheltered from strong north and south winds, it benefits from delicate valley and mountain breezes.
Manual harvesting in the third ten days of September, destemming, soft pressing, static decantation of the must, fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, lees aging for about 8 months in 228-litre French oak first, second and third passage “pièces”, bottle-ageing for about 6 months before selling.
