Salento IGT Chardonnay Numen 2023 Paolo Leo

The Apulian white wine Numen by Paolo Leo is a 100% Chardonnay, whose grapes are grown in the province of Brindisi not far from the Adriatic Sea.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are immediately brought to the cellar where they undergo a soft pressing that guarantees the integrity of the skin. This is followed by a maceration of 8-9 hours on the skins at 10 ° C. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in American and French oak barriques. Subsequently the wine is aged in steel for 6 months.

In the glass, the wine appears straw yellow in color with golden reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe fruit such as peach and pineapple, as well as notes of sage, sweet spices, white chocolate and almonds. The sip is well structured, round and with a long finish.

Ideal in combination with mushroom-based dishes, but also with roasted and larded white meats.
