From the manufacturer to your home!
Chardonnay, a great grape variety that plays a leading role in the world's most famous white wines, originates from the illustrious French wine region of Burgundy.
It was successfully introduced in the Agro Pontino, in the province of Latina, after a favourable experimentation and since then it has enriched the ampelographic base of the territory
GRAPES AND VINIFICATION
It is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in highly dense rows (from 4,000 to 5,000 vines per hectare).
Chardonnay is usually harvested in early September and, thanks to the low yields per vine, a good acidity level and an excellent sugar content are obtained at the same time.
After careful soft pressing of the grapes and careful selection of the free-run must, we move on to the fermentation phase which develops over a period of 6–8 days.
Subsequently, the temperature of the wine is reduced in order to avoid the start of malolactic fermentation.
It is then stored for approximately 3–4 months in steel.
Bottling is scheduled for early this year.
ORGANOLEPTIC EXAMINATION
It has an intense straw yellow color; on the nose it offers an elegant bouquet of acacia flowers and fruit (peach and banana); on the palate it is fresh, with a good structure, with a long and captivating finish.
SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS
With grilled fish or stewed white meat.

WHO WE ARE
Always for Amatrice
For over 20 years we have been selecting and bringing the best products of our land to the tables of families. After the earthquake of August 24, 2016, we were forced to completely reorganize our business, facing numerous difficulties. Courage, support and love for our city have allowed us to move forward with the same determination as before. Today our shop is located inside the Il Corso Shopping Center, built temporarily to deal with the emergency. At the same time, we have created a new e-commerce to allow many people throughout Italy to purchase our products. We are still here, as we once were, to represent and promote the original gastronomic tradition of Amatrice.
