Descrizione

The Chardonnay Collio DOC 'Riserva Grici' by Renato Keber shows an elegant, restrained profile. Pale straw in color, on the nose it opens with notes of yellow apple, ripe pear, white flowers and a subtle citrus touch; a background minerality is also noticeable, contributing to freshness. On the palate it displays a saline texture and balanced body, with well-integrated acidity and a persistent finish recalling white‑fleshed fruit and floral echoes. The overall impression is one of precision and pleasantness, suited to those seeking a Chardonnay with a contained but defined character.

It pairs with mildly seasoned fish dishes, shellfish, light white meats and fresh cheeses; it is also suitable as an aperitif wine for those who prefer a structured yet soft white. Recommended serving temperature around 10–12 °C. In commercial presentation it suits buyers who value a territorial label like Collio DOC and the producer identity of Renato Keber; tasting is recommended to assess its balance with everyday dishes.

Winery history

The Keber family settled in Zegla in the early 20th century: great-grandfather Franc arrived from Vipulzano in 1900. The estate is family-run across four generations and began exports to the USA in the 1990s.

Production philosophy

Focus on expressive, age-worthy wines; extended lees ageing in steel and selectively in wood. For some wines (e.g. Ribolla 'Extreme') traditional practices are used, such as open-cement maceration with indigenous yeasts and no temperature control.

Terroir and vineyards

Location Zegla, Cormòns (Collio). Collio: gently sloping south‑east hill near the Slovenian border; soils known as 'ponca' (middle Eocene marl and sandstone / Cormons flysch), highly suitable for viticulture.
