Chardonnay is the most representative white wine in our region since – owing
to its freshness, liveliness and perfumes – it is capable to delight the
most refined palates.
The vineyard lies in the municipal territory of Calliano in a slightly
sloping place called "Vòi"; this is the sunniest part of Calliano if you’re
coming from Besenello.
After an accurate selection of the grapes, this wine is made with a slight
pressing followed by white vinification at low temperatures in order to
guarantee a long aromatic persistence.
It is then refined in steel for about 4 months and then bottled to be
consumed.
The colour is straw yellow with greenish tints and the perfume is
intense and fruity with typical notes of peach and banana.
Dry, full bodied and well balanced on the palate.
A pleasant aperitif, it well completes to fish or shellfish, lean starters
and delicate soups.
It
should be served at an ideal temperature of about 10°C.
