Isonzo del Friuli DOC Chardonnay 2023 Borgo Conventi

This Chardonnay by Borgo Conventi is produced with Chardonnay grapes grown on vineyards facing south, east and west, in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The soils, resulting from the disintegration of the stratified marls and sandstones of the subsoil, are mainly clayey in the higher areas and with finer components in the foothills.

The vinification involves a soft pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats for about 10 days at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine ages on the fine lees throughout the winter, until bottling in spring, to maintain its freshness and aromatic complexity intact.

It presents fragrant notes of Golden apple, banana, acacia flowers and bread crust. On the palate the structure is rich, with a marked mineral vein and a long persistence.

This white wine pairs perfectly with scampi and shrimp, first courses with vegetables, risottos, baked poultry and fish, and is also ideal as an aperitif.
