Il Castagneto

Chardonnay Ticino DOC

2022

Own production

The hot, dry Ticino summers are an ideal context for the Chardonnay grapes from our own vineyards in Vallemaggia and Locarno. Ageing in new French barrels for at least 12 months completes this wine that stands out for its finesse, bouquet and elegance.

Important: while stocks last, bottles may differ from the displayed image and have the historical Terreni alla Maggia label
