Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Alto Mincio.
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.
Lombard IGP on the glacial-moraine hills south of Lake Garda (Mantua), with a balanced climate between the warm Po plain and the alpine freshness of the lake. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Rondinella lead in reds — fruity and supple with cherry, plum, red berries, herbs and a hint of gentle spices, rounded tannins and a direct, approachable style. Chardonnay, Garganega, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio in fresh whites.
