THE WINE

The Chardonnay wine of the Jerman winery comes from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in Dolegna del Collio in the province of Gorizia. Here the land is called “ponca”; it is a rocky substrate composed of stratified marl and sandstone.

The Jerman winery was the first in Friuli to use the Stelvin screw cap model of the French company Pechiney: the winery chose this very technical closure to keep the fragrance and organoleptic qualities of the wine intact.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest occurs in the first days of September, and only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. After the soft pressing, the wine ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The ageing on the lees also occurs in the same steel tanks and lasts about six months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections; the aroma is pleasantly fruity with hints of banana that intertwine with notes of golden apple, to close with scents of wildflowers. Soft and fresh on the palate, this wine has a nice savoury vein and excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish but also with vegetable soups. Try it with sea bass in salt.
