100 IO, Domenico Armani, Trentino, Italy, Trentino DOC

It all started way back on December 7th, 1607, when Domenico Armani signed notarized papers (which are still in the historical archives of Trent) documenting the fact that his father Simone bequeathed the land to him, land covered with "trees and grapevines". It's a collective history, and from that moment on, the land adopted the name of the family.

Four centuries that have become tradition, a tradition that day after day teaches method, respect and tenacity. To cite Albino Armani today: “This tradition stimulates me to grow and to keep growing, with the firm belief that my job is the most beautiful one in the world, I mean: to stick your hands into the soil and make it turn into wine, definitely, this is the most wonderful profession that fate has in store for me."

Among the regions of Italy, that of Trentino is the most famous for the cultivation of Chardonnay which here is distinguished by its perfect synthesis of strength and sweetness. This grape variety thrives in the microclimate of the Val d'Adige and expresses all its excellence in a wine of great body and elegance.

The wine is made with grapes coming from Vallagrina and Valle dell'Adige in Trentino. They grow on a soil of calcareous stone. Manual harvest. Fermentation in stainless steel with a small fraction in large wooden barrels.
