After years of researching the correct plot,rootstock, and clone, Filippo Chia finally completed his father’s work and identified the right ‘spazio’ suited to Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDespite being a mere 0.2 hectares and producing only 1200 bottles, the terroir of this vineyard is very special as it sits at an altitude of 300m on a layer of prehistoric oyster shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDuring vinification, we macerate the juice on the skins for 48 hours at low temperatures, before gentle pressing and cooling for a further 48 hours. After natural settling, the liquid starts the fermentation process. The subsequent wine rests on the lees in Barriques for 9 months, followed by a period of bottle aging in our temperature-controlled cellar until release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e2020 is the first vintage produced from these young\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChardonnay grape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9138\/4941\/files\/07-metafisica-eng-alta.pdf?v=1644007728\"\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages for illustrative purposes only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Romitorio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39799012229229,"sku":"","price":57.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9138\/4941\/products\/CASTELLOROMITORIOMetafisicaIGTChardonnay.jpg?v=1654954333","url":"https:\/\/titaitalia.com\/products\/metafisica-chardonnay-igt-castello-romitorio","provider":"Tita Italian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
