Castello Banfi - Chardonnay Sant'antimo Fontanelle 2022 is produced in California with fruit sourced from vineyards selected for balance and varietal clarity. Hand harvesting and small‑lot vinification allow careful control of fermentations, with an emphasis on clean extraction and preservation of fruit integrity.

Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel or small open‑top tanks, depending on the varietal, with pump‑overs or punch‑downs managed to achieve structure without harshness. Aging takes place in a mix of French and American oak barrels, where time in wood refines texture and brings added complexity without masking the grape’s natural profile.

Each vintage reflects a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar work, yielding a wine that stands as a faithful expression of both varietal and region.
