Conte Jacopo Chardonnay

Manlio Mergé began his winemaking career in the Frascati area bordering Monte Porzio Catone, but it was with the arrival of his children, Massimiliano, Marco, Maria-Beatrice, and Marianna, that the winery became a key player in Frascati viticulture, committed to pursuing production that respects and embraces the culture of its terroir.

From the passion and experience of the Mergè family comes Conte Jacopo Chardonnay, a wine that embodies the excellence and tradition of Lazio winemaking. The Mergè family, with a history rooted in generations of winemakers, dedicates itself with care and dedication to producing high-quality wines that best express the character of the terroir. Conte Jacopo Chardonnay is the fruit of this philosophy: a white wine that combines the nobility of the international grape variety with the unique identity of the Lazio terroir. Through expert winemaking that respects the raw materials and enhances their potential, Casata Mergè offers an unforgettable sensory experience, a journey through aromas and flavors that recount a family’s history and commitment to quality and authenticity. Ideal for those seeking a refined and versatile wine, the Conte Jacopo Chardonnay is an unrivaled choice, perfect for celebrating special occasions or enhancing everyday dining.

The Conte Jacopo Chardonnay from Casata Mergè presents a bright straw yellow color, enhanced by greenish highlights that hint at its freshness and vivacity. On the nose, its organoleptic characteristics reveal an enveloping and complex aromatic bouquet. Delicate floral notes, reminiscent of white wildflowers, predominate, along with fruity hints of golden delicious apple and ripe pineapple, occasionally accompanied by a subtle hint of citrus. A subtle minerality and a pleasant vegetal nuance complete the aromatic profile, lending the wine remarkable elegance and depth. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and balanced. Its freshness is well-balanced by a pleasant smoothness and a savory character that invites another sip. The finish is lingering and clean, leaving a fruity and slightly almondy aftertaste. Thanks to its structure and versatile aromatic profile, Conte Jacopo Chardonnay lends itself to numerous food pairings. It is excellent as an aperitif, but also proves to be an ideal companion for fish dishes, both freshwater and saltwater, shellfish, and seafood. It also pairs beautifully with light first courses, such as risottos and pasta dishes with vegetables, and with fresh or medium-aged cheeses. Its elegance also makes it perfect for pairing with delicate white meats and refined vegetarian dishes.
