Venezia DOC Chardonnay 2020 La Frassina

Chardonnay is produced by the Venetian winery La Frassina, a family business located in the municipality of Caorle (VE), on the border of the Zignago Valley. The soils on which the vines grow are alluvial, calcareous and clayey and medium-textured. Since 2000, a restructuring of both the vineyard and the cellar has been undertaken.

The grape harvest takes place within the first 10 days of September. The vinification takes place with an initial maceration on the skins for 5-6 hours followed by a soft pressing. The free-run must, once the selected yeasts have been added, ferments in steel tanks for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature, and then refines in steel tanks for about 7 months in contact with the fine lees in order to acquire the specific varietal characteristics.

In the glass the wine is pale straw yellow in color with greenish reflections. On the nose there are hints of pear and white wild flowers. The sip is dry and reveals an elegant acid note that gives freshness and persistence.

Ideal in combination with first courses with seafood sauce, mussels in stew or grilled fish.
