Why we like it
Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga Riserva Privata 2016 is a Trento DOC produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown between 400 and 700 meters above sea level on the hills of Pressano and in the Cembra Valley. The vineyards grow on soils of porphyry and volcanic origin, with red marl in Pressano and sandy loam soils in the Cembra Valley, deriving from morainic sediments.
The vinification involves fermentation in steel at 20°C, followed by six months of aging on the lees with frequent bâtonnage. After the second fermentation in the bottle, which began in May following the harvest, the wine ages for 60 months on the lees, developing a unique complexity and structure.
