With its deep roots, the plants can withstand the warm summers. Because the temperature can rise quickly in Tuscany. Fortunately there is the wind that blows over the mountains and that gives some cooling. The cooling is necessary for the Chardonnay grapes to grow quietly, and at ideal ripeness they are harvested in the early morning. Frescobaldi chooses to harvest the grapes by hand in order to get only the best bunches in the bottle. The hand-picked chardonnay grapes ripen sur lei for a period of three months in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
