Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Circeo
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Circeo.
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.
Lazio DOC of the Tyrrhenian coast south of Rome (Latina, Sabaudia, San Felice Circeo, Terracina), sandy soils facing the Circeo promontory. Merlot (≤55%) as the signature red — supple and generous with bright plum, black cherry, red fruits and a balsamic-sunny touch, round tannins. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon as structured complements. Trebbiano Toscano and Chardonnay as fresh signature whites with white flowers, citrus and a saline touch.
