Chardonnay 2016 - Franco Terpin

Chardonnay - Franco Terpin

Terpin's Chardonnay is a white wine macerated on the skins produced with the grapes of the same name that come from the oldest vineyards located on land composed of ponka. After the manual harvest of the grapes, the vinification is spontaneous with maceration on the skins for about 10 days. Aging in wooden barrels. It is not filtered or stabilized before being put on the market. A nice golden yellow in the glass, with slightly amber reflections. The nose includes aromas of ripe fruit, honeyed notes, and dried flowers. On the palate it is warm, enveloping, round, savory, with good minerality and freshness. Closes long.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but if left in the cellar a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

Great to combine with raw fish dishes, pasta dishes, aged cheeses, to try with lasagna with seafood.
