Stoan is a unique wine that reflects the richness and potential of our terroir. A lively blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer, the brainchild of our<br />winemaker.<br /><br /><br />Description of the vintage: After a dry winter and an initially cold March, above-average spring temperatures favoured early budding and early flowering. From mid-May to<br />early June the weather was mainly rainy and wet. In the later maturation phase, rainfall was normal, with few heat peaks and concomitant short dry periods. Throughout the<br />summer the nights were characterised by pleasant coolness. Harvesting began in early September and until mid-October was interrupted repeatedly by single days of rain,<br />fortunately alternating with prolonged periods of sunshine. The white wines are fresh, with an intense olfactory profile. The red wines, with great finesse and elegance,<br />indicate great ageing potential.<br />Grape variety: Chardonnay 65%, Sauvignon 20%, Pinot Blanc 10%, Gewürztraminer 5%.<br />Yield: 45 hl/ha<br />Altitude: from 400, more from 500 - 600 metres<br />Exposure: south-east 90%, south 10%.<br />Harvest: end of September - mid-October<br />Bottles produced: about 48,000, 760 magnums and some large sizes<br />Soil: calcareous gravel mixed with clay<br />Age of vines: 10 - 40 years<br />Climate: wide temperature range due to hot days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cold nights with very fresh winds coming from the mountains<br /><br />Vinification: the grapes are harvested entirely by hand and placed in small containers that keep them intact; immediate pressing; slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature (18°-20°) in wooden barrels (30-40 hl), in which malolactic fermentation also takes place; racking of the must by natural sedimentation.<br /><br />AGING: Refining in large wooden barrels (30-40 hl), always in contact with the yeasts until the end of August. After bottling, the wine is left in the bottle for a minimum of 3<br />months for further ageing, bringing the total ageing period to a minimum of 14 months.<br />to a minimum of 14 months.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 13,5 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 5,9 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 1.8 g/l<br />
