Description

The Chardonnay Isonzo from Tenuta Luisa is a refined and intense expression of one of the world's most cherished white grape varieties. Grown in the fertile Isonzo area, in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, this white wine stands out for its elegant structure and lively freshness.

The particular climate of the region, characterized by hot, breezy summers and harsh winters, contributes to giving the Chardonnay from Tenuta Luisa a surprising aromatic complexity. On the nose, it immediately opens with notes of green apple and white peach, enriched by delicate hints of vanilla and a slight touch of butter, derived from partial ageing in French oak barriques.

In the mouth, the liveliness of the acidity is masterfully balanced by a soft and enveloping structure, leading to a lingering and aromatically intriguing finish. The balance between mineral freshness and the creaminess of the wood is a testament to careful winemaking and respect for the terroir.

The Chardonnay Isonzo from Tenuta Luisa pairs beautifully with rich fish dishes, such as baked sea bass or seafood risotto, and can also be wonderfully matched with creamy chicken dishes or mushroom risottos.

This wine encapsulates the essence of Friuli, with its strong character and innate elegance, making it an ideal choice for white wine lovers looking for something unique and distinctive.

Winery history

A family history that began with the purchase of the first plots by Francesco Luisa in the early 20th century. The estate has grown over several generations with documented milestones: expansion of the vineyards, construction of a new winery in the 1990s, and the launch of premium lines such as "I Ferretti" and "Millésimée". The estate's website records the first purchase of 5 hectares in 1907 and progressive growth to more than 100 hectares today.

Production philosophy

Vineyard-to-glass approach: quality that originates in the vineyard through low yields, high planting density and targeted treatments. In the winery, intervention is limited and aging is carefully managed for the selections. The winery also declares a commitment to environmental sustainability, with practices that have received recognitions and certifications as noted in the sources.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located on the plain between Collio and Carso, within the DOC Friuli Isonzo. Soils consist of mixed gravel and decalcified limestone with clayey sections. Approximate elevation 35–50 m above sea level. The climate is influenced by the Bora and Scirocco, with diurnal temperature variations that favour aromatic ripening.

Awards and recognitions

Numerous national and international recognitions: among the highlighted awards are Tre Bicchieri for certain vintages of the "I Ferretti" selection, medals at international competitions, and various scores from guides and critics.
