Description
What kind of wine it is
Girlan’s Chardonnay Marna is a white wine with a Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) status that embodies the essence of Alto Adige. On the palate, the Chardonnay expresses a lively freshness, enriched by notes of ripe fruit and a distinct minerality. Partial fermentation in wooden barrels and ageing on the fine lees enhance its complexity, offering a harmonious profile and balanced freshness. It is the ideal companion for vegetarian starters, elaborate fish dishes, and delicate white meats.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the Oltradige vineyards, located in the north-eastern part of Alto Adige at an altitude of between 350 and 450 metres. The hilly climate allows for optimal ripening of the bunches, preserving their natural acidity. The soil, characterised by a composition of gravel and clay with significant limestone deposits, gives the wine its name and imparts a unique minerality that faithfully reflects the identity of the mountain territory.
How it is produced
The harvest is carried out manually to ensure the maximum integrity of the bunches. In the cellar, whole-bunch pressing is performed, followed by natural clarification of the must. Fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels, where partial malolactic fermentation also occurs. After a period of ageing on the fine lees, which adds structure and depth, the process concludes with maturation in the bottle to achieve the perfect balance of flavour.
