Chardonnay - Fontana Graziano

The Chardonnay of Fontana Graziano from Trentino-Alto Adige shows a bright golden yellow color in the swirled glass. Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of acacia and banana, rounded off by other fruity nuances.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. Here it is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Italian enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. On the tongue, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly silky and creamy texture. In the finish, this wine from the wine-growing region of Trentino-Alto Adige finally inspires with beautiful length. Once again, hints of acacia and banana appear. In the finish, mineral notes of the soils dominated by clay and limestone are added.

Vinification of the Chardonnay from Fontana Graziano

The balanced Chardonnay from Italy is a single-varietal wine, pressed from the Chardonnay grape variety. In Trentino-Alto Adige, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay and limestone. After the manual harvest, the grapes reach the press house in the fastest way possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
