This grape variety is native to Burgundy in France but has found one of its most suitable growing areas in the Italian sub-alpine regions. Thin-skinned and incredibly varied in its aromatic profile, this grape expresses itself in different but always very elegant and harmonious ways. A perfect straw yellow in colour, it immediately appears consistent when the glass is swirled; the aromas are surprising for their wide range of flavours, from ripe fruit (apple, pear) tropical fruit (pineapple, passion fruit), and sweet spicy notes such as vanilla. Dry on the palate, it maintains a nice freshness and flavour, with good persistence. Chardonnay Forchir is a perfect wine to be enjoyed on its own, or with aperitifs. Excellent with almost all starters, it also goes well with fish, vegetable and white meat pastas and risottos.
