A refined, layered Chardonnay that speaks clearly of Friuli’s eastern hills. The nose is precise and expressive, with ripe orchard fruit, lemon zest and golden apple, followed by subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, vanilla and a gentle smoky edge from barrel ageing. On the palate it is textured yet poised, combining ripe fruit depth with fresh acidity and a creamy, savoury finish lifted by extended lees ageing. Long, balanced and quietly complex, this is a Chardonnay with freshness, finesse and excellent ageing potential.

From some of the best vineyards in Buttrio, the grapes are estate-grown and hand-harvested. Fermentation takes place using selected yeasts in barrique, followed by 12 months of maturation in barrel, including 10 months on the lees to build texture and depth. The wine is then refined in bottle for a further two months before release. Perfect with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, grilled lobster or mature alpine cheeses.
