Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Colli Martani
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Colli Martani.
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.
Umbrian DOC south of Perugia on the Martani hills, between the Apennines and the Tiber valley. Grechetto is the native white signature: dry and structured with notes of pear, yellow apple, almond, white flowers and a mineral touch, good acidity — capable of aging. Sangiovese is the red signature (≥50% of the Rosso) blended with Montepulciano: ruby-fruited with cherry, plum, herbs and a spiced touch, supple tannins. Trebbiano and Chardonnay complement the whites.
