Tenuta Sant'Anna Chardonnay Venezia DOC (1.5L)

A soft, elegant white wine made from Chardonnay grown on clay and silt-clay soils in south-eastern Veneto. The vineyards sit on alkaline, medium-depth soils over an ancient paleosol known as caranto, in a temperate, humid climate near the sea with strong temperature swings. Vinification uses soft pressing, controlled-temperature fermentation in stainless steel at 15-16°C and ageing on fine lees. It shows a straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections, a fresh nose of golden apple, white peach and acacia flowers, and a fresh, balanced palate.
