Description
The Zenato Santa Cristina Chardonnay 2024 is a fresh, elegant white wine from Veneto. This wine combines vibrant fruit aromas with refined acidity and a subtle creaminess. Perfectly balanced, with notes of apple, peach, and a light hint of almond. Ideal for lovers of pure Chardonnay.
Origin & winery
The wine comes from the renowned family-owned Zenato winery, located in the western part of the province of Verona. Their vineyards are situated around the Santa Cristina estate, where the mild climate and the cooling influence of Lake Garda create optimal conditions for Chardonnay. For decades, Zenato has been known for its combination of tradition and modern winemaking techniques.
Santa Cristina Vineyards
The Santa Cristina vineyards are situated on light, chalky soils with excellent drainage. This location benefits from sunny days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to retain their natural acidity. This terroir ensures aromatic precision and elegant structure – characteristic of Zenato's style.
Grapes & Vinification of Zenato Santa Cristina Chardonnay
The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay. After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit notes. A short aging on the fine yeasts adds extra creaminess and texture, without losing its vibrant character.
Flavour profile & tasting notes
In the glass, a clear straw yellow with a light green hue. The nose is expressive with aromas of ripe apple, peach, citrus, and a hint of hazelnut. Fresh and harmonious on the palate, with lively acidity, a soft texture, and an elegant finish that perfectly blends mineral notes and fruit.
Wine and food pairing & serving tips
Serve the Zenato Santa Cristina Chardonnay 2024 at 8–10°C. Excellent with grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta, chicken dishes, or soft cheeses. It also makes a delicious aperitif thanks to its fresh and approachable character.
