Villa Russiz Collio Chardonnay Grafin de La Tour Magnum 2019

Still white wine from Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 14% ABV, produced by Villa Russiz. 1.5L magnum, 2019 vintage. An elegant Chardonnay born from the passion of Count Theodore de La Tour, who chose these hills to cultivate his vines in 1869. The soil is entirely marly, with a southern exposure. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully vinified, then aged in oak barrels and then in stainless steel for a year, before finishing with 12 months in bottle. The aroma is intense, reminiscent of ripe apple, bread crust, vanilla, and well-integrated citrus. The color is a light golden yellow with yellow highlights. On the palate, the wine is complex, very assertive, and balanced.
