Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Italian star of accessible, structured reds (no link to the Tuscan town). Montepulciano grape (min. 85%): deep robe, intense aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices and balsamic notes, round tannins and a juicy finish. Direct, fruity everyday style, or denser Riserva aged in barrel for cellaring.
