Omina Romana: Chardonnay Ars Magna 2017

In a golden yellow and brilliant color. The aromas are intense and broad, with notes of ripe white-fleshed peach, jasmine, broom, herbs, and an iodine finish.

Well balanced on the palate, persistent and harmonious.

Hand-harvested with grape sorting, destemming, and subsequent selection of berries. The berries are cold macerated for about 48 hours before fermentation and then gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in new French oak barriques. It remains on its fine lees in the barrels throughout the entire aging process, generally 12 months, during which bâtonnage is performed. After bottling, the wine rests for at least 12 months in the bottle.

Inspired by the metaphorical contrast of the medieval table "Ars Magna" by Ramon Llull, the Chardonnay Ars Magna reflects the principle of "Bonitas," a noun expressing goodness, good quality, but also honesty and fertility. The purest and most careful selection of Ars Magna Chardonnay, grown on soil that produces a special wine both in composition and location, allows the Chardonnay to express its full aromatic power and minerality. The patient work in the cellar and the combinatory art of oak aging complete the goodness and refinement of this wine.
