Chardonnay – Azienda Agricola Kante – 2020

The Chardonnay of the Kante farm

The Chardonnay of the Kante farm is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery in the Trieste Karst at an altitude of approximately 250 meters above sea level. Here, the land is red and rich in limestone rock, which allows excellent drainage. Kante has been producing this wine for nineteen years, and it is one of its flagships.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest of the grapes is strictly manual, in boxes, and takes place only when the grapes have reached the desired level of ripeness. Once in the cellar, the grapes are wine made in white; the wine then ages for approximately twelve months in old exhausted French oak barriques and then for six months in stainless steel tanks. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being released onto the market.

Tasting the wine

Bright straw yellow. The aroma is fresh and intense; you can immediately perceive the salty notes, which leave room for hints of exotic fruit and citrus fruits such as cedar and grapefruit, leaving room for puffs of aromatic herbs such as mint and rosemary. This wine is also very fresh on the palate, round with marked minerality and excellent correspondence between aromas, flavour, and long persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect with fish and shellfish. It is a must-try with the classic grilled fish.
