In the glass, Chardonnay Collio presents a bright straw yellow color, enriched by green hues that testify to its freshness. On the nose, it offers an intriguing bouquet with notes of white-fleshed fruits like peach and pear, accents of white flowers, and a light touch of vanilla and butter, stemming from brief maturation in barrels.
On the palate, the wine expresses an excellent structure balanced by a lively acidity. The aromatic complexity is reflected in a silky texture that envelops the palate, leaving a long and persistent aftertaste, with delicate mineral nuances that reveal the typicality of the Collio terroir.
Ideal for accompanying elaborate fish dishes, seafood, poultry in creamy sauces, or as a refined aperitif, the Chardonnay Collio by Conti Formentini proves to be a versatile companion for various gastronomic pairings. A sensory experience that celebrates the purity of the fruit and the sublime expression of the territory.
