Scaia Garganega Chardonnay

Scaia Garganega Chardonnay, as the name suggests, is a white wine made from Garganega and Chardonnay grapes. These grapes grow on chalky volcanic soil locally known as "Scaia." The wine is actually named after the land where the grapes are grown. Scaia wines have been a staple in our selection for years and are here to stay. This white wine is even one of our best-selling Italian wines.

The harvest of the Garganega & Chardonnay

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. A strict selection process ensures that only the finest fruit is used for pressing. This already suggests that this will be a beautiful, pure white wine. During the blending process, a little more Garganega is added than Chardonnay, giving the wine both a full-bodied and a pleasantly fresh note. We think this has been a resounding success.
