Chardonnay Attems

The Attems winery was founded in Friuli Venezia Giulia in 1964, although its history dates back to 1106, with the first document attesting to the possession of lands suited to viticulture in Collio by the Attems dynasty. A thousand-year-old tradition that has made this company a point of reference in the territory and that has seen Count Douglas as a protagonist, in fact he is credited with having founded the Consorzio dei Vini del Collio, the third in chronological order in Italy and the first in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Furthermore, since 2000 Attemps has been the owner of the Frescobaldi family that continues to guide it while respecting its original characteristics.

Attems Chardonnay, a refined white wine from Venezia Giulia IGT, is made from pure Chardonnay grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards. The Attems winery, part of the prestigious Frescobaldi group, boasts a long tradition in the production of quality white wines in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The soils, of Eocene and alluvial origin, give the wine a particular minerality and complexity. The harvest, carried out manually in the second half of September, selects the best grapes for winemaking. The alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in oak barrels, followed by an aging that includes frequent bâtonnage to enrich the structure of the wine.

The result is a wine with an intense straw yellow color, with a bouquet rich in aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and vanilla notes. On the palate, the Chardonnay of Attems is structured and elegant, with good acidity and a persistent finish. This wine pairs perfectly with fish dishes, white meats and fresh cheeses, enhancing the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
