Chardonnay LAFÓA 2022<br />Alto Adige Chardonnay DOC<br /><br />The grapes for this Chardonnay grow on old vines with very small yield. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 to 550 m a.s.l. on dry morainic soils. A sinewy but<br />elegant Chardonnay with great potential for aging. Tasting notes: Of a pale intense straw yellow colour tinged with green nuances; a full but well- integrated wine, imbued<br />with honeydew melon, creamy fruit salad and nutty aromas; ample acidity with a delicate underlay of oak on the palate and a long, luscious finish.<br /><br />Cellaring potential: 6-10 years.<br />Food Combination: This full-bodied wine is perfect on its own, but an incredible complement to rich fish dishes such as poached skate with mint cream sauce, Dover sole,<br />Cicatelli pasta with fresh crab, stirfried scallops with ginger and the perfect partner to chicken and veal.<br /><br />Serve lightly chilled: 12-14° C.<br />Grape Variety: Chardonnay; old espalier-trained vines. Location: Selected vineyards at an altitude of approx. 400-550 m a.s.l. A very dry site, medium-structure morainic<br />soils with a sand and gravel composition; the microclimate is cool, with striking contrasts between day and night time temperatures.<br /><br />Yielding: 49 hl/ha<br />Winemaking: Grapes are pressed without being destemmed; fermentation takes place in a combination of new and used oak barriques, where partially malolactic<br />fermentation also takes place. The wine refines on its fine lees for 10 months, and regular battonage is carried out. Further 6 months of bottle-aging before release.<br /><br />Analytical Data:<br />Alcohol 14% Vol<br />Total acidity 5,5 g/l<br />Residual sugar 1,0 g/l<br />
