The absence of filtration preserves its natural character, expressing a broad fruitiness combined with \u003cstrong\u003espicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emineral hints\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to a long finish. Born in the Collio region from Chardonnay grapes, it pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003efish-based dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, shellfish, sushi, vegetarian dishes and soft cheeses, especially if served at 15°C after an hour of decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt comes from the vineyards of Oslavia, in the heart of Gorizia. The vines take root at one hundred and seventy-five metres above sea level in an \u003cstrong\u003eeocene marl\u003c\/strong\u003e known as Ponca, with exposures ranging from north-west to south-west. The age of the plants, between twenty-two and forty-five years, combined with a limited yield, encourages a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures the selection of the best bunches for the defined expression that characterises Chardonnay in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and crushing, fermentation begins for four days in \u003cstrong\u003eopen Slavonian oak vats\u003c\/strong\u003e and continues in barrels, completing the entire \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The flavour profile matures through eleven months of ageing in barrels, twelve months in steel tanks and a final year of rest in the bottle. The \u003cstrong\u003eabsence of filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e fully preserves the structure, giving a full and clear style to this white from Friuli-Venezia Giulia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the marls of Ponca in Oslavia, the \u003cstrong\u003eCollio Chardonnay 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies Friulian excellence.
