Chardonnay is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated international grape varieties in the world and this is Massolino's interpretation of this noble variety.
We also pay great attention to our Langhe DOC Chardonnay, from the care of the vineyard to the meticulous winemaking. This wine represented a challenge for us: even in the lands of Langa, traditionally destined for red wines of great structure, Chardonnay has managed to find a second home. Rich, long-lived and exciting.
THE WINE:
Thanks to the great care in the vineyard and to a very particular winemaking process followed in an almost obsessive way, even in these traditional "red lands", a rich and powerful white is obtained, capable of aging for many years and of giving authentic emotions, almost surprising even to the most demanding palates.
Appearance: straw yellow, more or less intense depending on the vintage.
On the nose: the most imaginative hints of ripe fruit emerge and an excellent minerality combined with excellent freshness.
On the palate: warm and broad, it envelops the palate with sweetness and character, finishing with a long aftertaste; it undoubtedly has the structure given to it by the Langa land. It is advisable to drink it at a temperature of 12-15°C. A wine that belongs to the group of structured whites, capable of evolving and improving with the passing of time. It goes very well with sea fish dishes and some river fish, such as trout. The combination with white and red meats is exhilarating, if cooked for a long time with delicate spices.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING:
Wine partially vinified and aged in barrique, barrel and cement; it remains on the fermentation yeasts for at least 12 months, then it is racked and finishes its refinement; it is put on the market after at least 6 months in the bottle.
