| History |
Chardonnay is one of the best-known white grape varieties in the world. It is widely grown in Trentino, covering almost the entire vineyard environment and having in fact found an ideal environment for its needs, albeit with different results depending on the different growing areas. Introduced towards the end of the 19th century by the Istituto Enologico di San Michele all'Adige, it now occupies about a third of the entire Trentino vineyard. |
| Origin |
Valle dei Laghi valley, between the mountains at the foot of the Dolomites, not far from Lake Garda |
| Climate |
The climate is sub-Mediterranean and is characterized by a constant breeze (called Ora del Garda), making it an ideal environment for producing wines of considerable finesse and elegance. Altitude: 250 m. a.s.l. |
| Vinification |
After the grapes were destalked and crushed, the must remained in contact with the skins for 10 hours at a temperature of 10 °C to encourage extraction of the primary aromas. |
| Ageing |
Fermentation took place entirely in light toasted barriques, one-third in new oak and two-third in second and third passage, where the wine was left to develop for 6 months before returning to stainless steel tanks for a couple of weeks. After the bottling, the wine was left to develop in the bottle for around a year. |
| Pairing |
Chicory risotto, swordfish with capers and cherry tomatoes, red snapper baked in foil. |
