Chardonnay

D.O.C. (Controlled Designation of Origin) Friuli Colli Orientali

One of the most common white grape varieties in the world. It originated in Burgundy, where it is the main component in many blends of fine sparkling wine, such as Champagne. It arrived in Friuli Venezia Giulia at the end of the 19th century, where it has adapted excellently to the very favourable environmental conditions.

Vinification

The harvested grapes are delicately de-stemmed. Soft pressing follows and the must thus obtained is clarified by decanting. The vinification continues with the alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature (18-20° C) in stainless steel containers. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 3-4 months in stainless steel tanks, taking particular care in the preservation and evolution of the "fine lees", with frequent bâtonnage (stirring).

Description

Straw yellow coloured wine with greenish hues. Delicate and fruity fragrance, the apple and acacia flowers stand out. It is inviting, discreet and very fine on the palate.

Serving suggestion

Ideal as an aperitif. Excellent with light appetizers, soups, egg and fish dishes, shellfish and molluscs.
