Lazio
Indicazione geografica tipica
The Chardonnay plants were brought to Torre in Pietra by the many Venetian farmers who came after the war to work on the land drainage. Since then the varietal has been part of our heritage.
Grape varieties
100% Chardonnay
Soil
Franco-sandy
Vinification
Early grapes harvested in the second ten days of August. The free-run must, clarified by cold static decantation, is fermented in steel and a small part in tonneaux to bring structure and aromatic complexity to the final cut.
Refinement
In steel, with a minimum stay of 3 months on the yeasts, then it rests in the bottle for another month.
Tasting
The color is deep straw yellow with light golden hues. The nose is citrus followed by pineapple, acacia, lime, hawthorn, exotic fruits and a slight touch of vanilla. On the palate it is balanced, of just fullness and marked minerality.
Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with appetizers and first courses of seafood, cheese soufflé, vegetarian main courses and lean meats. Ideal with white meats.
