Attems Chardonnay I.G.T.
On the nose it reveals a complex bouquet, with initial notes of ripe cedar and white melon that blend harmoniously with hints of almond and spices.
The silky texture and crisp acidity give the wine an excellent length.
Details
Grape: Chardonnay.
Colour: straw yellow colour with golden reflections.
Production Area: the vineyards are located between the plains and slopes in the Province of Gorizia, at an average altitude of 60 m above sea level.
Soil: composed partly of Eocene sandstone, formed when the sea bed lifted 50 million years ago, and partly of deep alluvial soil with many pebbles.
Method: single Guyot and spurred cordon.
Harvest: By hand in mid-September.
Technique: The must obtain from the gently pressed grapes was left to decant for 24–48 hours. Subsequently, the clear must began its alcoholic fermentation, which took place at low temperatures (15–17 °C) for 15 days. Vinification was carried out in steel containers and second-fill barriques (20%) at low temperatures, avoiding malolactic fermentation. The wine aged 4 months on the noble lees was regularly resuspended.

Pairing: Delicious as an aperitif, it is perfect with light meats as well, with cheeses and with boiled meats and light stews.
