La Tunella - Chardonnay

Grape Variety:
100% Chardonnay

Vinification:
Harvested at the right degree of ripeness, a portion of the de-stemmed and crushed grapes is gently pressed; the other portion is first subjected to cryomaceration at 4°C for about 36 hours. The resulting must undergo cold static decantation and then a fermentation stock, prepared 3-4 days earlier from the selected best grapes of the same variety, is added. The must then ferments slowly in stainless steel vats at a precisely controlled temperature (16 °C) for approximately 30 to 40 days. The maturation continues in stainless steel vats, during which time also a lengthy series of batonnage processes is carried out at set intervals to produce a well-rounded and full-bodied wine, with a delicate bouquet. After a long sur lie aging process, bottling is deferred until the month of February.

Colour:
Intense straw yellow evolving into a richer yellow with aging.

Notes on flavour and bouquet:
A fragrant, fruity bouquet redolent of small, ripe tropical fruits, pineapple and white flowers. The taste is aristocratic and elegant, with a lean body and a well balanced vivacity, conferred by a consistent freshness.

Serving Temperature:
8 - 10 °C

Serving Suggestions:
Excellent as an aperitif or as an accompaniment for light antipastos and clear soups, consommés and egg or fish based dishes.

A journey among the Friulian Mounts with Tunella
Tunella was born where the cold and rigid winds of the Julian Alps meet the mild winds of the Adriatic Sea, which give rise to a contamination unique in Italy and beyond. The phrase "authentic hill art", which accompanies the logo of the winery, perfectly describes the result of this integration: a territory that is the exact middle ground between the mountainous and flat morphology. In turn, the production is faithful to the vocation of the territory, with 70% white grapes (which give life to white wines of great elegance, structure and longevity) and 30% red grapes, embracing both native varieties such as Ribolla Gialla, Verduzzo Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Refosco and Schioppettino and international ones such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Pinot Nero and Merlot. Tunella is also at the forefront of an eco-sustainable agricultural and production policy, which limits treatments in the vineyard to a minimum and uses clean energy from photovoltaic panels for activities in the cellar.
