The Alto Adige DOC Chardonnay "Lafoà" from the Colterenzio winery is a white wine of exceptional elegance and complexity, reflecting the uniqueness of the South Tyrolean terroir through careful processing and sophisticated winemaking. Colterenzio, known for its dedication to quality and innovation, presents this wine as part of the prestigious "Lafoà" line, recognized for wines that best express the potential of individual vineyards.
The Chardonnay "Lafoà" is the result of a careful selection of the best grapes, grown in ideally located vineyards, where the cool mountain climate and optimal sun exposure foster the development of distinctive aromas and a lively freshness. Once harvested, the grapes undergo fermentation in barriques, followed by a period of maturation on the yeasts in oak barrels, which gives the wine a rich structure and complex aromatic nuances.
On the nose, the Chardonnay "Lafoà" reveals intense notes of ripe fruit, such as peach and melon, alongside elegant touches of vanilla and butter due to the aging in wood. In the mouth, it is rich and creamy, yet well balanced by a fresh acidity that leads to a long and persistent finish.
Ideal as an aperitif, it is also perfect for accompanying refined dishes of fish, shellfish, or poultry in creamy sauces. This wine stands out for its finesse and can also be stored for a few years, evolving thanks to its extraordinary aging capacity.
Choosing the Alto Adige DOC Chardonnay "Lafoà" from Colterenzio means savoring a sublime example of how high Italian winemaking can masterfully interpret international varieties, enriching them with a distinctive territorial imprint.
