Salentein Primus Chardonnay

Salentein's iconic Chardonnay. Part of the Primus line, which is only produced in exceptionally superior vintages. The particularity of this wine is its elaboration: fermentation with indigenous and selected yeasts, in barrels of different uses, with malolactic fermentation in 90% of the volume and aging on fine lees with bâtonnage. The result is a white wine of great texture, complexity and balanced natural acidity.
