Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Bergamasca
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Bergamasca.
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 IGT on the alpine foothills around Bergamo (67 ha). Signature dry reds: firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco) and supple Merlot (plum, cherry, chocolate) in single variety or blend, round tannins and structured palate. Rare Moscato Nero (Moscato di Scanzo) speciality — ultra-confidential sweet muscat red from the heights. Aromatic white Moscato as complement (rose, citrus, honey).
