The recent history of the Colterenzio Winery is made up of rebels and pioneers of winemakers who in 1960, initially 26, started their own agricultural cooperative to market the wine independently. So it was that in the small village of Schreckbichl (in Italian Colterenzio) in South Tyrol, the winery of the same name was born with the then ambitious and pioneering goal of producing quality wine.\u00a0In 1979 the enlightened viticulturist Luis Raifer took over in the role of director who, recognizing the qualities of the land, the climate, the terroir and the local wine competence, recognized his potential in producing wines of excellence, bringing South Tyrol to levels until then unexpected. With this clear and well-defined vision, he began to give life to his project on his farm “Laf\u00f2a” on a charming sun-kissed hill, where he replaced the Schiava vines with the Cabernet Sauvignon and later Sauvignon Blanc varieties. But he did not limit himself to this, but rather introduced a new method of viticulture which favored the low yield compared to the high quality of the grapes destined for great wines. This methodology prevailed within the entire cooperative, experimenting with new varieties but preserving the method, particularly accurate in the vineyard and in the cellar. After 40 years from that turning point, from 26 founding winemakers members today they have become 300, who with their families, who for passion and for work, contribute every year, autumn after autumn to the success of the great Colterenzio wines.<\/p>\n
Chardonnay Laf\u00f2a is obtained from rather old and low yield hillside vineyards, in the style of Colterenzio. The grapes are selected and harvested by hand, and the whole bunch is then sent to soft pressing. The fermentation of the must takes place in both new and used wooden barriques, and only a part undergoes malolactic fermentation in wood. At this point the\u00a0wine ages on the lees for about 10 months with regular batonage, followed by further refinement in the bottle for about 6 months. Result a white to be enjoyed with a good plate of pasta of the typical Italian cuisine,\u00a0as well as\u00a0a grilled fish.<\/p>\n

The color is a strong and bright straw yellow, the fruity aromas of mango and melon stand out on the nose, accompanied by a light note of walnut. On the palate a woody scent makes it particularly harmonious and round.
