Ferrari-Carano has always been a leading producer of world-class, nationally-acclaimed wines. Vintage after vintage, the wines exhibit a remarkable consistency of style and elegance. To produce this Tre Terre Chard each lot is whole-cluster pressed, then cold settled in stainless steel tanks, and within 24 hours is moved directly to barrels for fermentation with native and cultured yeast. The wine completes 96% malolactic fermentation and is sur lie aged and stirred weekly for nine months. The final blend was assembled in May 2017, and the wine is barreled again in neutral oak until bottling, for a total of almost 17 months of barrel aging.
Wine Spectator scored this 93 points saying "Strikes a fine balance between vibrant citrus and green apple and pear notes. Lightly oaky and creamy midpalate, this is deftly elegant and refined. Drink now through 2022."
