It appears a bright straw yellow to the eye, enriched by elegant greenish highlights. The aromatic profile is refined, characterised by fresh citrus fruits, delicate \u003cstrong\u003eAlpine aromatic herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e and intense nuances of exotic fruit, with pineapple and mango standing out. On the palate, it is harmonious and balanced, supported by lively freshness and classic \u003cstrong\u003emineral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e that define its slender and pleasant structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay grapes come from the Cornaiano area, in the Bolzano region. In this area, \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e has found an ideal habitat and has been cultivated for about a century, perfectly adapting to the local microclimates. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003edeep, sandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with gravel deposits, a key factor in giving the wine its typical gustatory tension. The history of this label is linked to \u003cstrong\u003eColterenzio\u003c\/strong\u003e, a company born from the union of numerous winegrowers to enhance production in total autonomy, safeguarding the identity of \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Tyrolean viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification involves \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out mainly in steel tanks to preserve the integrity of the varietal aromas. A small part of the must, however, ferments in \u003cstrong\u003elarge wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that enriches the wine's texture without overpowering the purity of the fruit. Subsequently, the wine matures for several months on the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e. This period encourages gustatory balance, giving a pleasant sensation of roundness that harmoniously integrates with the lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChardonnay Altkirch was born from the vision of 26 winegrowers from Cornaiano who, in 1960, founded the \u003cstrong\u003eColterenzio cooperative winery\u003c\/strong\u003e to vinify their own grapes in complete autonomy. This fine white wine pays tribute to the vineyard of the same name, highlighting a noble international variety that has been cultivated in Alto Adige for over a century. Thanks to the deep \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e in which its roots grow, the grape variety demonstrates a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect climatic adaptation\u003c\/strong\u003e. Under the guidance of oenologist Martin Lemayr, the winery offers an excellence that celebrates the authentic vocation of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Colterenzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47411833536683,"sku":"62213","price":87.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/colterenzio-chardonnay-altkirch-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
