White wine | Lago di Garda, Lombardy, Italy
Imagine yourself basking in the sun-kissed hills overlooking the shimmering Lake Garda, Italy. That's where our ChardAnny wine begins its journey. Crafted by the esteemed Cantina Colli Morenici, this Lugana DOC Chardonnay is more than just a wine; it's an experience. The winery name 'Colli Morenici' translates to 'Morainic Hills', a reference to the unique geological landscape around Lake Garda, which profoundly influences the terroir of their wines.
Our winemakers believe in minimal intervention, allowing the Chardonnay grapes to express themselves naturally. The grapes are hand-harvested from meticulously cared-for vineyards, reflecting the winery's commitment to quality and sustainability. Temperature-controlled fermentation and aging in cement and stainless steel tanks preserves the wine's purity and vibrant character.
On the nose, ChardAnny is an invitation of crisp green apple, zesty lemon, and a subtle hint of almond blossom. A delicate minerality adds complexity, hinting at the unique soil composition of the Lugana region. On the palate, it's a vibrant dance of flavors - a burst of citrus fruit balanced by a creamy texture, a signature of high-quality Chardonnay. The finish is clean, refreshing, and persistent, leaving you wanting more.
ChardAnny is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its refreshing acidity makes it a wonderful companion to seafood, especially grilled fish, shrimp scampi, or delicate oysters. The wine's creamy texture complements richer dishes like risotto with parmesan cheese or creamy pasta sauces. For a lighter pairing, try it with a fresh goat cheese salad or simply enjoy it as an aperitif on a warm summer evening.
With an alcohol percentage of 13.0%, ChardAnny is best served chilled, around 8°C, to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. No need to decant this wine; simply uncork and enjoy.
It's an embodiment of the Lugana region – a testament to the unique terroir and the passionate winemakers who dedicate their lives to crafting exceptional wines. Experience the heart of Lake Garda with every sip of ChardAnny. Cheers!
