'Chardonnay' Friuli Grave DOC Conte Brandolini D'Adda 2023

Chardonnay Friuli Grave DOC is a terroir wine, which loses its conventionality by purchasing what is best offered by a unique territory such as Friuli. This white of considerable interest is offered by the historic Sacile Conte Brandolini D'adda farm, which makes use of the precious collaboration of the oenologist Georges Pauli. The label takes shape from the vinification of 100% Chardonnay grapes, the fruit of vines grown in the soils of the pre-Alpine belt, between the provinces of Udine and Pordenone. The vines, as well as benefiting from the typicality of the alluvial plains soils, combined with the imposing presence of stones, also benefit from strong temperature variations. Chardonnay Friuli Grave DOC comes from a careful harvest that chooses only the best grapes. After harvesting, the bunches are transported to the cellar, where they first macerate briefly in contact with the skins, and then ferment. This is followed by a period of maturation in steel for 4 months. The finished product is a fresh and very pleasant white. An aromatic label, the varietal note of chardonnay, or tropical fruit, emerges for its slight mineral nuance and for its intriguing persistence. Excellent as an aperitif, but not only.
