The bouquet is intense and fruit-driven, with notes that in its early phase can evoke banana, ripe apple, and subtle aromatic nuances, all supported by a clean, polished style.\n\nOn the palate, it is fresh and expressive, with good structure and excellent persistence. The wine highlights Chardonnay’s natural aromatics without oak influence, giving it a linear, mineral-tinged profile and a lively finish. It is best enjoyed young for its brightness and fruit, though it should hold well over the short to medium term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from elevated vineyards in Friuli, where sandy and marl-rich soils provide ideal conditions for white varieties like Chardonnay. The wine is fermented and aged for around six months on the lees in stainless steel tanks, followed by additional bottle aging, a method chosen to preserve freshness and varietal purity rather than add external oak character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Chardonnay pairs beautifully with fish dishes, especially those served with sauces, as well as shellfish and creamy vegetable soups.
