It is distinguished by a structured, complex, and beautifully balanced profile, with a distinct sapidity, well-defined acidic tension, and notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, and Rennet apple. Fermentation in French oak barrels and long ageing define its elegance, offering a creamy finish with great persistence and a remarkable potential for evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in the municipality of Mango, in \u003cstrong\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/strong\u003e, cultivated under organic and sustainable practices. The vines grow at an \u003cstrong\u003ealtitude of approximately 500 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e above sea level, with a south-eastern exposure. This unique hillside position is fundamental in defining the wine's aromatic profile and freshness. The soil, composed of limestone-marl with a sandy tendency, contributes significantly to the clear mineral imprint and sapidity that characterise every sip. The characteristics of the terrain and the local climate give the wine a particularly vibrant energy and refined complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction involves careful processing of the Chardonnay grapes to preserve the energy of the fruit. \u003cstrong\u003eAlcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place entirely in \u003cstrong\u003eused French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e (second passage). At the end of fermentation, the wine continues its maturation within the same barrels for approximately \u003cstrong\u003e18 months\u003c\/strong\u003e. This wood-ageing phase allows the wine to acquire structure, complexity, and its characteristic creaminess on the palate, without overpowering the varietal character. Subsequently, the wine rests in the bottle for a further six months before being released onto the market, a key step to harmonise and define its flavour nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and trivia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1977, the prestigious La Spinetta estate produces Lidia Chardonnay, making the most of vineyards situated at five hundred metres above sea level in the magnificent municipality of Mango.
