Südtirol - Alto Adige DOC Chardonnay 2022 Terlan

A pure Chardonnay that expresses in the glass all the breakthrough of its land of origin, South Tyrol, comes from a rigorous selection of grapes and a manual harvest, as did our grandparents. After the arrival in the cellar there is a delicate pressing of the whole bunch and an peeling for natural sedimentation and, subsequently, there is a slow fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine ages for 5-7 months in steel barrels.

A light and bright straw yellow color sparkles in the glass, a prelude to a fine and complex bouquet, with notes of banana, quince, passion fruit, mango and melon, but also aromas of lemon balm. The palate is a very pleasant discovery, a journey to the warm Tropics, with its aromas of ripe exotic fruit. All this is sealed by that pleasant minerality, typical of Chardonnay, which gives the wine an attractive look.

Excellent to combine with fish dishes, such as mixed seafood with raw prawns and scampi, it is to try with a risotto with vegetables or with dumplings.
