Lo Chardonnay from the winery La-Vis is produced in the province of Trento in the municipalities of Meano, lower Cembra Valley and in Lavis, Avisio River in Trentino dialect, from which the agricultural cooperative takes its name. The winery bears not only the name of the municipality, where it traces its origins back to 1850, but also its connection to the territory and ancient winemaking tradition. The logo takes its cue from a decorative element that has always been present in the winery; it represents a wooden bas-relief celebrating the founding of the winery and 3 shields representing the 3 main municipalities: Lavis, Giovo and Meano. The La-vis Chardonnay is made from only grapes of the French variety of the same name, the result of a "zoning" project also called "the right grape variety in the right place." This project, with the aim of finding the most suitable grape variety for each soil, was the result of a meticulous study of the characteristics and morphology of each soil and thanks to the drawing up of the soil map in which the pedological characteristics were reported. Chardonnay is grown in a loamy-sandy soil from fluvio-glacial sediments, thanks to its proximity to the Avisio River, and particularly favorable for the production of elegant and fresh wines. Harvested in the first decade of September, it receives a soft pressing to keep the grapes intact and its fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 20°C in stainless steel tanks after static decantation. Before bottling, it is left to age for a period of 5/6 months on lysis to gain structure and obtain a wine with a full and pleasantly harmonious flavor.
