A variety, Chardonnay, which finds in this particular terroir, a soil deriving from fossil sediments with clay infiltrations, an expression of distinct minerality and elegance. The first vintage of Bramìto della Sala was 1994.

Vinification
The timing of the harvest was chosen by seeking the maximum expression of the fruit. Harvesting of the Chardonnay began towards the end of August with healthy, ripe grapes characterised by excellent freshness and an excellent aromatic profile. On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and softly pressed. The must with its skins was cooled to 10 °C for a short maceration period of about 2 to 4 hours in order to extract and enhance the aromatic and taste profile of the grapes. Following clarification, which took place in stainless steel vats, the different batches were transferred partly to wood and partly to steel where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16-18 °C; only the portion in wood then went through malolactic fermentation. The wine was then blended and bottled.
