Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Galatina
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Galatina.
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 southern Tuscany (Pitigliano hills, volcanic tuff and clay, "little Jerusalem"): Trebbiano Toscano (>=40%) in a lively, elegant white with white flowers, green apple, citrus and a racy saline-volcanic touch. Grechetto, Greco, Malvasia Bianca and Verdello as complements. Styles: dry, sparkling metodo and the famous sweet honeyed Vin Santo della Toscana. Same terroir as Bianco di Pitigliano DOC.
