The Chardonnay selection from Italian Wine Selection gathers some of the most interesting interpretations of this great international grape variety in Italy and beyond, with bottles ranging from still whites to the most refined classic method.

A grape variety capable of telling different territories
Chardonnay is loved for its ability to adapt to different soils and climates, always maintaining a recognizable profile. In Italy, it finds vertical and mineral expressions, or softer and more enveloping ones, depending on the production area and the style of the winery. The collection includes wines such as Cervaro della Sala from Antinori Castello della Sala, Rossj-Bass from Gaja, Chardonnay Monteriolo, I Sistri Chardonnay IGT Toscana, and Chardonnay Langhe Gaja e Rey, along with mountain labels and classic method sparkling wines of great finesse.
Between still wines and great bubbles
This collection is not only dedicated to still whites: Chardonnay is indeed one of the most important bases for numerous Italian and French sparkling wines included in the selection, such as Franciacorta, Trento DOC, and Champagne. Here you will find interpreters like Ferrari Perlé Bianco Riserva Trento DOC, Ferrari Riserva Lunelli 2016 Trento DOC Extra Brut, Franciacorta DOCG 2020 Contessa Maggi Montenisa, Franciacorta Docg Satèn, and SUBLIMIS Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Millesimato Riserva. The presence of maisons and wineries such as Ferrari, Ca del Bosco, Berlucchi, and Ca' Marcanda - Gaja makes the selection particularly comprehensive.
How to choose the right Chardonnay
If you are looking for a Chardonnay for an aperitif or delicate appetizers, lean towards fresher and tighter versions; if you prefer more complex wines, choose labels aged in wood or reserves, capable of offering greater depth. The sparkling wines based on Chardonnay are ideal for those who desire elegant and gastronomic wines, perfect for the table as well. The collection also includes interpreters from Sicily, Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy, and Umbria, offering a complete journey through styles and denominations.
Recommended pairings
Chardonnay pairs naturally with fish dishes, shellfish, white meats, vegetables, risottos, and soft cheeses. The more structured versions pair well with richer preparations, while the Chardonnay sparkling wines are ideal for aperitifs, seafood crudos, and special occasions. Thanks to the variety of labels available, this selection is designed for those seeking a characterful white or a high-profile sparkling wine, with a style that is always recognizable and contemporary.
