Tasting note
Extremely elegant, shiny straw-yellow with golden tints and impressive structure. Fruity, floral and spicy aromas show candied orange peel, pink grapefruit, pineapple, acacia, mimosa and magnolia, evolving into vanilla, cinnamon and roasted hazelnut. Creamy and sapid on the palate.
Viticulture
The Benefizio vineyard stands at an altitude of 700m above sea level, is south-facing and has a mostly sandy soil.
Vinification
Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested with care, then gently pressed to extract clear must. After cold clarification, the must ferments in barriques, half new and half first-use, with partial malolactic fermentation. The wine then ages on lees in wood, with stirring as needed, before bottle ageing brings elegance and harmony.
Food Match
Pairs well with grilled or pan-seared salmon, robust white fish, light fish spaghetti, creamy vegetable risottos or pasta, and roasted chicken or turkey with mild herb sauce.
