The perfect vineyards for Meran Festival Chardonnay

Meran Festival Chardonnay comes from various growing regions in Italy, including Lagundo, Lana, Marlengo, Merano, and Scena, situated at altitudes of 280 to 450 meters above sea level. The vineyards have an average age of 10 to 30 years. The soil in which the Chardonnay grapes grow consists of light loamy sand, granite, and gneiss. This diverse soil composition contributes to the wine's complexity and distinctive characteristics. The vinification process begins with cold maceration of the grapes in the press, which helps preserve their aromatic qualities. Temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation then takes place in small stainless steel tanks. This allows the winemaker optimal control over the fermentation conditions and the fruit's expression. After alcoholic fermentation, the Meran Festival Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving the wine's freshness and vibrancy. The wine is then aged for five months on the fine lees, which helps develop complex flavors and a richer texture.

The vibrancy of Meran Festival Chardonnay

Meran Festival Chardonnay is a wine with a vibrant straw-yellow color and subtle green highlights. The bouquet is seductive, opening with aromas of exotic fruits such as ripe bananas, juicy pineapple, and crisp apples. This Chardonnay is perfectly balanced, with a freshness that enlivens the whole. The palate is elegant and refined, with exotic fruit notes blending beautifully with subtle hints of citrus and a touch of vanilla. The texture is soft and pleasant on the tongue, allowing the wine to glide effortlessly through the mouth. The well-integrated acidity contributes to the wine's liveliness and refreshing quality. The finish of the Meran Festival Chardonnay is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant memory with its harmonious flavors and a subtle fruitiness that slowly fades.
