Dolfo's Chardonnay is a rich and elegant white wine from the wine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, known for its ability to produce high-quality wines. This Chardonnay best expresses the characteristics of the terroir where it is cultivated, thanks to careful viticulture and meticulous vinification.
Visually, the wine presents a straw yellow color with golden reflections, clear and bright. On the nose, it offers a complex and inviting bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit such as peach and apple, accompanied by nuances of vanilla and butter, due to maturation in French oak barriques. These aromas harmoniously integrate with accents of white flowers and a light mineral touch that adds freshness and complexity.
On the palate, Dolfo's Chardonnay is enveloping and well-structured. Its richness is balanced by good acidity that enhances its freshness and persistent taste. The flavors perfectly match the olfactory aromas, with a long and pleasantly aromatic finish that invites another sip.
Ideal as an aperitif, this Chardonnay pairs beautifully with rich fish dishes, such as baked salmon or seafood risotto. It is also an excellent companion for dishes based on chicken or turkey, especially if enriched with creamy sauces.
This Dolfo wine not only tells the story of its territory through the senses but also offers a taste experience that will remain impressed in the memory of wine lovers.

Winery history
The winery bears the family nickname "Dolfo," and the estate's history is linked to the Skočaj family. The modern approach to production was established at the end of the 20th century, when wines labeled DOLFO first appeared on the market; the official page notes the appearance of DOLFO‑labelled bottles in 1989. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyards and winemaking facilities in the Brda/Ceglo area.
Production philosophy
It favors manual vineyard care and cultivation practices that emphasize territorial quality; at the same time production is described as conventional, using natural organic fertilizers and paying careful attention to soil management and exposure.
Terroir and vineyards
It is located in Ceglo, in the Goriška Brda area, with vineyards that extend partly into Slovenia and partly into Italy. The local soils are characterized by the so-called "opoka", a calcareous/clayey sedimentary formation that contributes to the wines' sapidity; the vineyards are planted on terraces with sunny exposures and elevations in the area ranging from approximately 80 to 200 meters.
Awards and recognitions
