LANGHE BIANCO D.O.C. PRASORAY

FIRST VINTAGE: 2005

Composed of 100% Chardonnay, PRASORAY is the result of the challenge our family set out to create an aging white wine. The grapes are allowed to overripen in the vineyard to give the wine greater structure. They are then hand-harvested and vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks.

From there, time takes center stage as it rests in TONNEAUX for 12 months, in contact with the fine lees of fermentation, and undergoes BATONNAGE every 3 days. The result is a complete evolution of Chardonnay: honey and banana notes stand out on the nose, with a soft and delicate yet powerful and fresh taste. If aged for a few years, it can provide great satisfaction. Best paired with medium-aged cheeses.
