Belonging to the Alto Adige Denominazione di Origine Controllata, it presents a bright straw-yellow colour enriched by greenish reflections. The \u003cstrong\u003earomatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e weaves together notes of citrus and aromatic herbs with exotic hints of pineapple and mango, with light vanilla nuances on the finish. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious and balanced sip\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a marked freshness and mineral veins that define its lean and inviting structure, the result of fermentation in stainless steel and large wooden barrels and maturation on the fine lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards located in the Cornaiano area, where \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e has found an ideal habitat and has been cultivated for over a century. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003edeep, sandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with gravelly deposits, determining factors in giving the wine its typical \u003cstrong\u003etaste tension and minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. This project stems from the commitment of the Colterenzio winegrowers, united to independently enhance the authentic \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Tyrolean winemaking identity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process involves \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e conducted mainly in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the varietal aromas. A small portion of the must instead ferments in \u003cstrong\u003elarge wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that enriches the texture of the wine without overpowering the fragrance of the fruit. Subsequently, \u003cstrong\u003ematuration on the fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e continues for several months, giving a pleasant roundness that integrates harmoniously with the lively underlying acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay Vecchia Chiesa\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the essence of the Colterenzio winery, established in Cornaiano in 1960 from the desire of twenty-six winegrowers to promote the South Tyrolean territory.
