More questions
The Salento Bianco Versante Chardonnay IGP produced by Vallone Winery is an elegant and sophisticated expression of the Chardonnay varietal grown in the picturesque region of Salento, in Southern Italy. This wine stands out for its freshness and vivacity, typical of the Mediterranean climate that characterizes this area, where sea breezes mitigate the high summer temperatures, helping to maintain an ideal balance in the grape clusters.
The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand to ensure that only the best clusters reach the winery. Subsequently, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, followed by a short period of maturation also in steel, to preserve all the varietal characteristics of the Chardonnay grape.
On the nose, the Salento Bianco Versante Chardonnay reveals fruity notes of green apple, citrus, and a slight tropical streak of pineapple, enriched by floral nuances of acacia and chamomile. On the palate, it presents well-balanced acidity that brings freshness and drinkability, supported by a medium-light structure that makes it pleasantly harmonious and persistent.
Its taste profile makes it ideal for pairing with fish dishes, seafood, and even vegetarian options such as grilled vegetables or light meals based on chicken or turkey. Its versatility also makes it suitable as an aperitif, where it can best express its freshness and charm.
In conclusion, the Salento Bianco Versante Chardonnay IGP from Vallone is a wine that elegantly encapsulates the qualities of one of the most beloved international grape varieties, interpreted through the unique terroir of Salento. A true delight for wine lovers looking for something distinctive and fresh to accompany them on any occasion.

The story
The winery's history is tied to the historic vineyards of Salento: the union of the Vallone and De Marco holdings and the subsequent acquisition of the Castel Serranova estate shaped the current production project. Over the years the winery has experimented with techniques such as grape drying, which led to the creation of the celebrated Graticciaia.
Production philosophy
Focused on promoting Salento's native grape varieties, the estate aims to accurately express the characteristics of its vineyards and varieties, maintaining a family-run, artisanal approach while remaining open to winemaking innovation.
Terroir and vineyards
Production takes place across three estates in the heart of Salento, with vineyards planted on a variety of soils, combining areas close to the Torre Guaceto nature reserve and historic plots such as Caragnuli, from which the grapes for Graticciaia are sourced.
