Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Friuli Aquileia.
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.
DOC of Friuli-Venezia Giulia between the Alps and the Adriatic, alluvial soils, mixed continental-maritime climate with cool nights. Friulano the white signature (min. 50%): tense and precise with green apple, pear, almond, white flowers and mineral touch, thirst-quenching. Pinot Grigio, lively Sauvignon, broad Chardonnay, Malvasia Istriana as complements.
