This hot-vintage expression ends with a much needed hint of fresh acidity. Production is 37,000 bottles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassolino's notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe also devote meticulous attention to our Langhe DOC Chardonnay, from tending the vines to scrupulous vinification. This wine represented a challenge for us. Yet in the Langa region, traditionally the home of full-bodied reds, Chardonnay has succeeded in finding a second home. Rich, exciting and suitable for long ageing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emixed consistency tending towards limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst year of production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification and ageing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epartially vinified and aged in barriques, casks and cement; the wine remains on fermenting yeasts for about 12 months before being bottled to complete the maturing process.

It is best to serve it at temperatures between 12-15°C. This wine belongs to the ranks of structured whites, capable of evolving and improving as time goes by. It is very good with saltwater and some freshwater fish dishes, such as trout. The combination with white and red meats is exceptional when they are cooked slowly with delicate spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50063195242762,"sku":"CEW364","price":150.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/ChardonnayLangheDOC.png?v=1728361275","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/massolino-chardonnay-langhe-2020","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
