2022 Jermann Chardonnay

One of the top producers from Friuli and one of the most famous makers of Italian white is undoubtedly Silvio Jermann. The Jermann family estate is located in the far northeast of Italy in the hilly region of Friuli, near the Slovenian border, in the DOC Collio, and dates back to 1881. Since Silvio, the third generation, took over in 1975, there has been an enormous revolution took place. By continuously investing and making optimal use of the sandy and marly soil that is so suitable for the white grape varieties, he expressed his urge for innovation, with fantastic results. This made him a worldwide phenomenon. Elegance, depth, richness, structure and minerality characterize his wines, which are served in many star restaurants worldwide. The Jermann Chardonnay is aged for approximately six months on the lees in stainless steel tanks and for several months in the bottle to preserve all the freshness without the influence of external factors such as wood. Made from 100% Chardonnay from high-altitude vineyards. Bright straw yellow in color, with greenish reflections; intense, fruity bouquet (in youth it is reminiscent of bananas and ripe apples), slightly aromatic; excellent persistence. Beautifully enhances the natural aromas of the variety. Goes well with fish dishes, both classic and nouvelle cuisine, especially with sauce, as well as shellfish and creamy vegetable soups. A particularly nice accompaniment is monkfish soup en croûte
