Chardonnay di Torgiano DOC Aurente 2017 Lungarotti

Lungarotti's Umbria Chardonnay Aurente was born in vineyards located in Torgiano, in the heart of Umbria.

It is produced 90% with Chardonnay grapes and 10% with Grechetto grapes, harvested between the end of August and the beginning of September. Fermentation takes place in barriques for 6 months, in contact with the lees. Subsequently the wine ages in bottle for about 8 months.

The Aurente is characterized by a straw yellow color with intense golden reflections. The nose opens with a large and complex bouquet, with hints of tropical banana fruits, enriched with pleasant spicy sage notes. On the palate it is pleasantly soft, with a good structure, a delicately fruity finish and a long persistence.

Perfect to accompany risotto, truffle dishes and white meats, it is ideal in combination with fish, roasts and aged cheeses.
