Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 Feudi Spada

The Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 by Feudi Spada is a white wine of great personality, an expression of a vocated territory and very limited production. Made from pure Chardonnay grapes, it balances the character of the volcanic plateau of Alfina, between Umbria and Lazio, offering a modern profile while remaining connected to its origins. It is a bottle designed for those seeking a refined, recognizable Italian wine that can combine freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Territory and wine style

The Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 comes from the highest vineyards in Umbria, about 580 meters above sea level, in an area characterized by a cool climate and strong temperature variations. This context favors a slow and orderly ripening of the grapes, with better aromatic definition and a pleasant taste tension. The imprint of the territory combines with a style inspired by oenological care and precision, with aging in French oak barrels that adds depth and complexity without altering the wine's freshness. The extremely limited production makes this label even more interesting for those wishing to purchase a niche and characterful white wine.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a fairly deep, bright, and luminous straw-yellow color. On the nose, the Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 expresses a rich and articulated bouquet, where citrus fruits, apple, pear, cantaloupe, dried apricot, and exotic fruits intertwine, along with notes of toasted almond, hazelnut, butter, acacia honey, caramel, and sweet spices. On the palate, it shows a soft entry, followed by a lively freshness that supports the sip and amplifies its balance. The structure is elegant, the taste profile is full yet harmonious, and the finish is persistent, with a pleasant sense of dynamism and a closure consistent with the olfactory richness.

Recommended pairings

This Chardonnay pairs naturally with seafood dishes and delicate yet flavorful preparations. It is ideal with oysters, fish carpaccios, seafood salads, seafood risottos, and first courses with vegetables or white truffle. It also expresses well with baked or grilled fish, such as sea bass and gilt-head bream, and with light white meats. Excellent also with soft cheeses, fresh goat cheeses, and young pecorinos, especially when one desires a white wine capable of accompanying the meal with elegance.

Serving temperature

The Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 gives its best at a serving temperature between 10 and 12°C. If served too cold, it risks closing down, while a few degrees higher helps to enhance the aromatic complexity and the softness of the sip. A long oxygenation is not necessary, but it can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to express itself at its best.

Why buy it

This wine represents an interesting choice for those looking for an extraordinary Umbrian white, capable of uniting territorial identity, production care, and immediate pleasantness. The very limited production, high-altitude origin, and balance between fruit, freshness, and evolved notes make the Chardonnay Monte Alfina Umbria IGP 2022 a bottle suitable for both an important dinner and a refined wine gift. It is a wine that enhances seafood cuisine, delicate dishes, and moments when one wishes to serve an elegant and distinctive Italian Chardonnay.
