Territory and style of the wine

The DOC and the Aosta origin are central elements for understanding the style of this wine. The Aosta Valley produces white wines recognizable for their freshness, verticality, and a mineral character that often precisely accompanies the riper part of the fruit. In this case, the Chardonnay finds a richer and more enveloping expression, enhanced by the work in wood and a profile that recalls an international style without losing its alpine identity. The result is a fine white, capable of combining intensity and finesse.

Tasting notes

Visually, it presents itself with an intense and warm golden yellow, a sign of a mature and generous wine. The bouquet is complex and multifaceted, with hints of delicate vanilla, pineapple, acacia, and smoky nuances, in a blend that enriches the varietal character of Chardonnay without overshadowing it. On the palate, it is soft, sumptuous, and enveloping, with good structure and a sensation of gustatory breadth. The freshness of Aosta origin and a mineral finish support the sip, extending its persistence and keeping the wine lively and elegant until the end.

Recommended pairings

This Chardonnay Barrique DOC 2019 Anselmet pairs well with dishes of good structure, where the softness of the wine can interact with creamy textures or flavorful preparations. It is ideal with substantial baked fish, shellfish, white meats in sauce, rich risottos, pasta with mushrooms, soft cheeses, and mountain cuisine dishes. It can also satisfactorily accompany slightly smoked or buttery preparations, enhancing the more elegant and complex side of the table.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate this Chardonnay Barrique DOC 2019 Anselmet, the ideal temperature is between 10 and 12°C. Serving it too cold risks compressing the aromas, while a few degrees warmer helps express the complexity of the bouquet and the richness of the sip. Decanting is not essential, but a few minutes in the glass can promote aromatic opening.
