Descrizione

Zenaide is a Chardonnay Forlì IGT by Calonga, made from Chardonnay grapes and distinguished by careful grape selection. Slow fermentation in barriques helps shape the profile of this white wine, which has an intense straw-yellow colour with delicate golden highlights. On the nose, it offers a rich, layered, elegant and expressive bouquet, with notes of citrus fruits, tropical fruit and sweet spices.

On the palate, it is soft and intense, with a subtle touch of wood and vanilla. Tasting reveals a development towards mineral and balsamic notes. This is a complex, persistent wine supported by lively freshness and significant structure. The finish is long, combining intensity, energy and depth in a harmonious balance. Zenaide offers a distinctive interpretation of Chardonnay from Romagna, bearing the signature of Calonga.
