​The 2023 Kreuth Chardonnay from Cantina Terlano is a refined white wine from the Alto Adige region in Northern Italy. This wine is produced entirely from Chardonnay grapes and is known for its balanced acidity, creamy structure and elegant aromatic notes. The vineyards have a south to southwest orientation at altitudes between 260 and 350 meters above sea level, with slopes ranging from 5% to 30%. On a light, sandy-loamy soil with a high quartz content, coming from volcanic quartz-porphyry rock. The harvest is manual harvest and selection of the grapes. Soft pressing and natural sedimentation for clarification of the must. Slow fermentation at controlled temperatures followed by a 10-month maturation on the fine lees, partly in stainless steel tanks (50%) and partly in large wooden barrels (50%), with partial malolactic fermentation.

Colour: Bright straw yellow.
Nose : Aromas of exotic fruits such as passion fruit, carambola and citrus fruits, complemented by spicy mineral notes of flint.
Taste: Smooth and firm in structure with spicy, mineral and juicy aromas that give the wine a distinct terroir character.

This Chardonnay is an excellent companion for dishes such as vitello tonnato, marinated octopus, mixed antipasti, grilled vegetables, cheese balls and pasta aglio olio peperoncino. It also combines well with grilled fish with fennel, gratinated crepes with radicchio filling and fresh Tomino cheese.
