Chardonnay Borgo Dei Vassalli

Borgo dei Vassalli originates from the evocative landscapes of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the Isonzo River flows through lands rich in history, nature, and winemaking. It is precisely from this unique environment, filled with summer colors, intense aromas, and authentic flavors, that wines are born, designed to be youthful, fresh, and pleasantly accessible, without sacrificing quality and identity. The vineyards extend within the prestigious Friuli Isonzo DOC, in a privileged geographical position, at the same latitude as renowned winemaking areas such as Burgundy, Cognac, and Oregon. Here, the Mediterranean microclimate meets typically northern climates, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The soils, shaped over time by the constant changes of the Isonzo River, are gravelly, highly permeable, and well-aerated: characteristics that make cultivation challenging but allow the vines to fully express their qualities. These conditions give rise to a pronounced minerality in the wines, accompanied by a pleasant savory note, also due to the proximity of the sea. The climate is characterized by constant ventilation, with cool easterly winds mitigated by the marine influence, and significant temperature variations between day and night. This natural balance favors optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced wines. Borgo dei Vassalli wines thus represent the authentic expression of a unique terroir, combining freshness, elegance, and extraordinary drinkability.

Chardonnay DOC Friuli Isonzo is obtained from grapes carefully harvested and processed to preserve their freshness and quality. Vinification involves immediate destemming, soft pressing, and controlled fermentation in stainless steel at 18°C ​​for approximately 10 days. It is then aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving the varietal aromas and liveliness of the wine.

On the nose, it is fresh and delicate, with fruity notes and light floral nuances. On the palate, it is balanced, smooth, and pleasantly harmonious, with a pleasant freshness. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs well with a wide variety of appetizers and is particularly suited to seafood.
