Collio Chardonnay Bio

Ideal temperature
8-10 °C

Wine variety
Obtained 100% from Cabernet Franc grapes, a vine originally from Bordeaux introduced in Collio at the end of the 19th century, with a very vigorous vegetation, where it immediately proved to be very resistant to rain and bad weather in spring and autumn.

Altitude
The vineyards from which this wine is produced are located in Ruttars and Bukova vineyards in the southwest side of Mount Calvario, at an altitude of 180 meters (600 feet) above sea level.

Farming system
Cultivated with guyot system.

Vinification
Traditionally the grapes are cryo macerated for 24 hours, after which they are pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures. Wines are kept “sur lie” until bottling.

Color
Pale straw yellow.

Nose
Unmistakable is its pleasant bouquet, extremely varietal with aromas of citrus, apple delight and cream notes.

Taste
The palate has a fragrant entry, with a succession of corresponding sensations which, in the finish, give way to elegant memories of apple.

Serving Temperature
It should be served chilled, around 8 – 10° C (46 – 50° F), as this is the way to capture all its fragrance.

Pairing
It can be enjoyed with grilled or stewed fish dishes, but also with creamy soups, for example with asparagus and mushrooms. Excellent then the combination with white and light meats of low court.
