Maculan winery is a little reality with a small production that otherwise is characterized by elegance and class. “Ferrata” is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, cultivated in the area of Breganze, in the locality called “Ferrata”, where the lands are characterized by volcanic and plains full of gravel. The wine making starts with cold maceration (2 days) followed by soft pressing. The aging is managed in French barriques made of Allier oak, where the wine rests on its sediments for 5 months. Other 12 months maturation in the bottle conclude the process.
