Chardonnay Baracca 2018 Miani, elegance and character from the Colli Orientali del Friuli

The Chardonnay Baracca 2018 by Miani is a white wine of strong personality, an authentic expression of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC and a production vision attentive to aromatic depth and sip precision. Made from pure Chardonnay grapes, it stands out for its intense, enveloping style while being measured, capable of combining substance, finesse, and a pleasant tasting tension.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from a part of the vineyards located between Buttrio and Abbazia, in an area suited for the production of whites with a rich and elegant profile. The south and southwest exposure favors full ripening of the grapes, contributing to the construction of a wine with a warm and defined character. The vinification and aging in French oak and barrique, for about 12 months, guide the Chardonnay Baracca 2018 towards a more complex structure, without sacrificing the expressive clarity typical of the territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with an intense straw yellow. The aromatic profile is broad and articulated, with hints of candied citrus, dried fruit, aromatic herbs, and an elegant balsamic note of resin. On the palate, it is soft, juicy, and full, with a warm and fruity sensation well balanced by a fine and orderly freshness. The structure is significant but harmonious, while the finish leaves a persistent and refined trail, reflecting its rich but never heavy style.

Recommended pairings

The Chardonnay Baracca 2018 pairs delightfully with important fish dishes, shellfish, white meats, baked preparations, and creamy first courses. Its softness also makes it suitable for recipes with mushrooms, medium-aged cheeses, and more structured seafood cuisine. It is an ideal white wine to enhance flavorful dishes, where aromatic components and substance can interact with balance.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Chardonnay Baracca 2018, the ideal serving temperature is between 10 and 12°C. If opened in youth or at a stage of greater evolutionary complexity, it can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to best express its aromatic range.
