Velenosi Chardonnay Villa Angela 2024

Velenosi Chardonnay Villa Angela 2024 is a vibrant, Mediterranean-style white from the rolling hills of Italy’s Marche region. Crafted to showcase Chardonnay’s fresher, more delicate side, it offers generous fruit and crisp acidity rather than heavy oak. This cuvée takes its name from the Villa Angela estate, a site that has helped establish Velenosi as one of the key modern ambassadors of Marche white wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Villa Angela Chardonnay 2024 shows a bright, pale straw colour with subtle green highlights, hinting at its youthful freshness. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with notes of ripe pear, green apple, white peach and citrus zest, layered with delicate floral tones and a faint mineral edge. On the palate, it is clean, medium-bodied and refreshingly crisp, with lively acidity that keeps the ripe fruit in perfect balance. Flavours of lemon, crunchy orchard fruits and stone fruit are supported by a subtle saline touch that reflects its coastal influence, leading into a pleasantly lingering, mouthwatering finish. Enjoy it in its youth for peak freshness and aromatics; it will drink best over the next 2–3 years.

Production
The Chardonnay grapes for Villa Angela 2024 are sourced from hillside vineyards in the Marche, where clay-limestone soils and sea breezes from the Adriatic help preserve acidity and aromatic purity. Grapes are typically harvested in the cool hours of early morning to protect the fruit from oxidation and retain fresh, varietal character. After gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel, emphasizing crisp fruit and floral aromas rather than oak influence. The wine then rests on fine lees for a short period, adding subtle texture and roundness while maintaining a bright, elegant profile.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is a versatile partner at the table, particularly well-suited to seafood such as grilled prawns, seared scallops, fried calamari and simply prepared white fish. It also pairs beautifully with fresh salads, vegetable risottos, soft cheeses, sushi and light poultry dishes with herbs or lemon-based sauces. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the fruit and floral notes fully emerge.
