Bolla Chardonnay (75cl, 13%)

Bolla Chardonnay is a white wine made from 100% Chardonnay in the Delle Venezie region of northeast Italy. It is produced by Bolla, part of Gruppo Italiano Vini. The must is kept in contact with the grape skins during pressing to extract greater aromatic intensity and structural depth. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures, followed by partial malolactic fermentation, which softens some acidity while preserving a crisp, fresh character. The nose shows ripe pineapple, peach, melon, green apple and citrus. The palate is soft and fruit-driven, with pineapple and stone fruit, balanced acidity and a light-to-medium body. The finish is clean and refreshingly dry, with subtle hints of almond.
