Casale Del Giglio - Chardonnay 2024 - Lazio IGT

This white wine is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes cultivated in densely planted rows (over 4,000 vines per hectare) and harvested in early September.

A low yield per vine ensures that the grapes will be rich in sugar without losing crucial acidity.

Soft-pressing of the grapes is followed by a careful selection of the free-run juice which ferments for 6-8 days.

The new wine is then chilled to prevent the onset of malolactic fermentation and stored in stainless steel tanks for 3-4 months before it is bottled at the beginning of the following year.

TASTING NOTE

An intense straw-yellow, this elegant wine reveals acacia flowers, peach and banana on the nose. Silky-smooth and full-bodied yet crisp on the palate, the finish is long and seductive.

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING

With grilled fish dishes or white meat casseroles.
