Velenosi, Villa Angela Chardonnay Marche 2023 White

Velenosi’s Villa Angela Chardonnay is a fresh and elegant expression of Marche, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown in the hills around Ascoli Piceno and Ripatransone. First produced in 1989, it has become a well-established label for the estate, combining bright Italian freshness with ripe, generous fruit character.

Tasting Notes
Clear straw yellow in colour, the wine opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe peach and tropical pineapple, lifted by delicate floral notes reminiscent of acacia blossom. On the palate, it is fresh, flavourful and well structured, with lively acidity and a balanced, pleasantly lingering finish. Made in a fresh, unoaked style, Villa Angela Chardonnay is best enjoyed in its youth, when its vibrant fruit and floral aromas are at their most expressive. It can be served over the next few years, although extended ageing is not the primary intention of this vintage.

Production
The Chardonnay grapes come from Velenosi’s own vineyards in the Marche hills, at approximately 200–300 metres above sea level. The medium-textured, sandy soils contribute to the wine’s freshness and distinctive character. Grapes are hand-harvested in the cooler early morning or late afternoon, carefully selected and gently pressed immediately after picking. Following a period of cold maceration, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, after which the wine matures in stainless-steel tanks at around 10°C until approximately February, preserving its delicate aromas and lively character.

Food & Serving
Villa Angela Chardonnay works beautifully as an aperitif and pairs well with fresh salads, seafood, grilled or steamed fish, shellfish and lightly prepared poultry. Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving to allow the fresh fruit and floral aromas to emerge.

Producer
Founded in Marche, Velenosi has been producing Villa Angela Chardonnay since its first vintage in 1989, using grapes from its own vineyards in the Ascoli Piceno and Ripatransone areas. The wine reflects the estate’s focus on expressing the region through carefully handled, approachable wines, while showcasing the freshness and elegance associated with the hilly terroir of Marche.
