Chardonnay

The Torre Rosazza estate has been present in the Friulian territory since time immemorial, founded in 1600 as a fortress and then used as a home by the Antonini family, nobles from Udine, who gave new life to the medieval tower, transforming it into the manor house which became their home, becoming Turris Rosacea. Subsequently to the Antonini family the estate passed to the De Marchi family who unfortunately after the defeat of Caporetto were forced to abandon the estate which ended up under Austrian hands, only to return under Italian control at the end of the war. The Rosazza estate enjoys a unique terroir, a few steps from Udine and near the border with Slovenia. You are enchanted by the beauty of the terraced vineyards, meticulously cared for, which embellish the “Ponca” soil, composed of sediments and minerals with a low percentage of organic material.

The Chardonnay of Tenuta Torre Rosazza is a wine born across the Tagliamento river, between the provinces of Pordenone and Udine. The vineyards rest on soils of alluvial origin composed of two surfaces, composed of pebbles of various sizes of limestone and dolomite nature. The grapes are softly pressed in thermo-controlled steel tanks, and then aged for at least 3 months on the fine lees in the same containers.

At first glance, the Chardonnay from Tenuta Rosazza is straw yellow in color with greenish nuances. On the nose it has floral hints and fruity hints, such as white flowers, citrus fruits, white peach and vegetal notes. On the palate it has a fresh and enveloping which gives freshness to the drink, balanced with an excellent consistency.
