Linea Di Marco – Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Protected Geographical Indication (IGP)

A white wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in Puglia on red, clay-rich and calcareous soils. The vineyards, aged between 20 and 35 years, are trained using the traditional bush vine and trellis systems, with yields of 10,000–13,000 kg of grapes per hectare. Winemaking involves destemming and immediately cooling the crushed grapes to 6–8 °C, followed by 12 hours of maceration, gentle pressing, static must clarification and alcoholic fermentation at 16–18 °C. The wine is aged on fine lees for 3 months, then stabilised and bottled. It has a straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose and palate, it is fruity, elegant and persistent, with a fresh, lingering finish. Ideal with risottos, fish, soft cheeses and white meats. Serve at 10–12 °C.
