Collio DOC Chardonnay 2016 Conti Formentini

Collio Chardonnay di Conti Formentini comes from carefully chosen vineyards located within the municipality of San Floriano del Collio, in the province of Gorizia.

It comes exclusively from Chardonnay bunches, harvested manually around the middle of September. The grapes are subjected to different wine-making techniques in different percentages: one part undergoes skin maceration, one part with cryomaceration and another part with over-reduction, systems that together manage to extract the polyphenols and aromatic components contained in the skins. A small part of the mass is left to ferment in second passage barriques, so as to develop in terms of aromatic richness and at the same time to acquire greater roundness.

Of an intense golden yellow color, it brings notes of apple and citrus to the nose, breaking later on enveloping hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, the wine is full and elegant, fresh and clean, with notes of apple, almond and bay leaves that keep for a long time in the mouth.

Excellent aperitif, it is perfect in the company of refined appetizers based on fish, prawns or molluscs.
