The Riserva 2008 Exclusive Collection GIOVANNI CAVALLERI is harvested only in the best vintages. The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, the 85% of the fermentation and aging take place in steel, the 10% in large oak barrels of 35 hl and, the remaining 5% in old barriques.
The wine rests 9 years on the lees after a 4-week manual remuage. The CAVALLERI family has lived in harmony with their land since 1450. In five centuries, the CAVALLERI family has developed
a profound empathy with the vineyard: for generations, they have faced day by day the unpredictability of the weather and natural events.
Today like yesterday, with a specific aim: to produce wines that can faithfully convey the essence of Erbusco’s hills. Each wine comes from the previous one, with its own characteristics that make it a one of a kind. CAVALLERI has always been a promoter of the benefits of a long yeast aging. Every single bottle is riddled by hand, leaving each wine with a permanent artisanal mark.
