Description
The Chardonnay of the La-Vis winery is produced in the province of Trento in the municipalities of Meano, the lower Cembra Valley, and in Lavis, the Avisio river in Trentino dialect, from which the agricultural cooperative takes its name. The winery bears not only the name of the municipality, where it traces its origins back to 1850, but also its connection with the territory and the ancient winemaking tradition. The logo is inspired by a decorative element that has always been present in the company; It represents a wooden bas-relief celebrating the foundation of the winery and 3 shields representing the 3 main municipalities: Lavis, Giovo and Meano.
The La-vis Chardonnay is produced only with grapes from the French grape of the same name, the result of a “zoning” project also known as “the right grape variety in the right place.” This project, with the aim of finding the most suitable grape variety for each soil, was the result of a meticulous study of the characteristics and morphology of each soil and thanks to the drafting of the soil map in which the pedological characteristics were reported. Chardonnay is grown in sandy loam soil from fluvio-glacial sediments, thanks to its proximity to the Avisio River, which is particularly favorable for the production of elegant and fresh wines. Harvested in the first ten days of September, it receives a soft pressing to keep the grapes intact, and fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 20°C in stainless steel tanks after static decantation. Before bottling, it is left to age for a period of 5/6 months on the lees to gain structure and obtain a wine with a full-bodied and pleasantly harmonious flavor.
