Chardonnay Vigna AU Riserva DOC 2019 Tiefenbrunner

The Tiefenbrunner estate produces a rich and harmonious wine, where the precision of the fruit intertwines with mineral nuances and a velvety taste structure, supported by freshness and persistence.

Territory and wine style

This Chardonnay comes from a vineyard located on very deep, loose, sandy morainic soil rich in clay, with a high saline and calcareous content. A context that favors balance, tension, and good acidity, fundamental elements for a refined and long-lived style. The DOC designation and the reserve setting tell of a wine crafted with care, designed to enhance the maturity of the grape and the complexity of time. Vinification in small oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees and further evolution in the bottle, helps define a broader and layered profile.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with crystalline reflections and a straw-yellow hue. The bouquet opens with mineral sensations of flint and walnut, then gives way to yellow, even exotic fruits, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it is intense, velvety, and full-bodied, with good acidity that balances the structure and a subtle tannic base, perceptible but well integrated. The finish is long, savory, and persistent, with a clear and refined aromatic return.
