Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Breganze.
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.
Veneto DOC on morainic and volcanic hills at the foot of the Vicenza Pre-Alps. Vespaiolo is the signature white king ("wasp grape", indigenous): taut and floral in dry style (green apple, citrus, honey, white flowers), or opulent in Torcolato passito (created 1995) — golden jewel with candied apricot, fig, honey, almond and orange peel. Also broad Tai and Pinot Bianco, round Chardonnay. Supple Merlot, fine Pinot Nero and spicy Marzemino in reds.
