Torgiano Aurente's Chardonnay is an intense and structured white with a broad and sunny profile. The name itself underlines its precious character, which is reflected in the splendid gold color and its seductive aromatic richness. It is a Chardonnay vinified in barrique, which expresses the noble elegance, complexity and longevity of the famous Burgundy grape, presented in one of the most interesting expressions of our peninsula.a.
- The vine : On the hills of the countryside of Torgiano, near Perugia, the Chardonnay has found beautiful exposure and a cool climate to reach an excellent quality level. Thanks to the expertise of a winery like Lungarotti, a name that has been part of the Italian elite of the wine world for decades, a label of absolute value was born.
- The harvest : The cool and continental climate favors a slow ripening of the grapes, which retain a great freshness even at the time of harvest. The vines are planted with double guyot and spurred cordon, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and yields that do not exceed 50 quintals / ha. After the manual harvest in small boxes, we proceed to the cryomaceration and the subsequent fermentation in barrique. The wine then remains to mature in wood, on the fine lees with periodic bâtonnage, for another six months. The refinement period is completed with 8 months in the bottle before being put on the market.
- Tasting : The olfactory picture conquers for the intensity and breadth of the aromatic spectrum, with floral aromas, notes of ripe yellow fruit, pineapple and tropical fruit, butter, honey, hints of vanilla and medicinal herbs. On the palate it has a full body, aromatically rich and complex, with great gustatory persistence, always well balanced by the citrus freshness. The closure is on pleasant savory notes.
- Pairings : Tried with truffles, a perfect combination, risotto, fish, white meats, roasts, mature cheeses, and fresh cheeses.
