Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Emilia.
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.
Kingdom of Lambrusco, the world's most-drunk sparkling red. Convivial, accessible sparklers from the Grasparossa (the fleshiest and most tannic), Salamino (balanced), Sorbara (pale and floral with red fruits) and Maestri varieties: ruby colour, lively foam, signature notes of cherry, raspberry, violet and flowers, fresh acidity. From dry to off-dry, perfect with Parma and Modena charcuterie. Also aromatic Malvasia and fresh Trebbiano.
