More questions
The Chardonnay Friuli DOC from Ca’ Modeano is born in the heart of one of the most renowned Italian regions for producing elegant and high-quality white wines. Made from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes, this wine best expresses the unique character of the Friulian territory, characterized by a temperate climate and variously morainic soils. The aging takes place in steel, to maintain freshness and olfactory clarity, enhancing the typical notes of white-fleshed fruit such as apple and pear, accompanied by floral hints and a delicate touch of vanilla.
On the palate, it is harmonious, medium-bodied, and with a pleasant acidity that gives vigor and persistence, ideal for accompanying dishes based on fish, shellfish, or light white meats. The Chardonnay Friuli DOC from Ca’ Modeano is a perfect example of the balance between tradition and modernity in the Friulian lands, capable of delivering fresh and enveloping sensations.
