In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, it reveals hints of mango and melon, enriched by notes of walnut and a delicate \u003cstrong\u003eoak undertone\u003c\/strong\u003e, derived from fermentation in wooden barrels. On the palate, \u003cstrong\u003ethe\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay shows a significant structure, where smoothness blends with lively acidity, leading to a persistent and juicy finish that makes it ideal with \u003cstrong\u003egrilled fish\u003c\/strong\u003e, shellfish, and white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in Cornaiano, within the historic \u003cstrong\u003eLafoa vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines grow on slopes situated between 400 and 550 metres above sea level, in a wine-growing area linked to the origins of Colterenzio. The \u003cstrong\u003ecool microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e and marked temperature variations between day and night preserve the freshness and acidic tension of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003emoraine-origin soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed mainly of sand and gravel, give the wine a defined flavour profile and ensure excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of whole bunches to preserve the integrity of the must. Fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003enew and used wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by partial malolactic conversion which harmonises the wine's structure. It then matures for about ten months in contact with fine lees; during this stage, the practice of \u003cstrong\u003ebâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances its roundness and aromatic complexity. The process concludes with a six-month rest in the bottle, consolidating its overall balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1960 by twenty-six winegrowers, the Colterenzio winery has its roots in the renowned Lafoa vineyard in Cornaiano.
