OUR CHARDONNAY
Our Chardonnay is appreciated for its freshness, unusual for a southern white, to which is added a pleasant intensity of aromas. The hints of banana and exotic fruits and the marked sapidity are the distinctive traits of this wine produced mainly with grapes from the Maime estate.

VINIFICATION AND REFINING:
The Chardonnay grapes were harvested and transferred to the cellar. After a soft pressing, the must was cooled and kept at a temperature of 10 °C, for about 24 hours, in order to obtain a natural clarification. The alcoholic fermentation took place in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 16 °C in order to enhance the aromatic component of the grapes. Tormaresca Chardonnay continued to refine in steel until bottling.
TASTING NOTES:
Tormaresca Chardonnay has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is dominated by notes of white fruit, apple and pineapple, in harmony with citrus sensations of orange blossom and jasmine. On the palate it is fragrant, savory, with a soft entry and balanced freshness.
HISTORICAL DATA:
Masseria Maìme is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Alto Salento, not far from the town of San Pietro Vernotico – Brindisi. The estate extends along the coast, creating a unique landscape of vineyards that grow among woods and pine forests and disappear as far as the eye can see until they merge with the sea. The most common varieties are: Negroamaro, Primitivo, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
