The Magnum version further enhances its evolution over time, offering an important presentation ideal for the table, for the cellar, and for special occasions. It is a structured white wine, rich yet measured, capable of uniting alpine freshness, substance, and aromatic finesse.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from selected vineyards in Alto Adige, at an altitude between 400 and 550 meters above sea level. The context is characterized by a cool microclimate, strong temperature variations, and morainic, sandy, and gravelly soils, elements that help preserve aromatic precision and taste tension. LAFÓA Alto Adige Chardonnay DOC 2020 is born from old trellised vineyards and a limited yield, factors that contribute to a richer and more defined quality profile. The winemaking, with gentle pressing, fermentation in new and used barriques, and subsequent aging on the lees, creates an elegant, complex, and harmonious style, without excesses.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and brilliant straw yellow. On the nose, it expresses a fruity and enveloping bouquet, with hints of mango, melon, and walnut, accompanied by a delicate woody nuance that enriches the aromatic profile without overshadowing its finesse. On the palate, it is full, balanced, and consistent with the olfactory imprint, supported by well-integrated freshness and a soft yet not heavy texture. The passage in wood and the work on the lees give volume, depth, and a pleasant final persistence.

Recommended pairings

This Alto Adige Chardonnay shines with first courses of Italian cuisine, grilled fish, shellfish, and white meats. Its structure also makes it suitable for richer preparations, as long as they are not too spicy, such as delicate risottos, pasta with light sauces, or chicken and turkey dishes. LAFÓA Alto Adige Chardonnay DOC 2020 pairs well with dishes that require balance, roundness, and an aromatic backbone capable of supporting refined flavors.

Serving temperature

Serve LAFÓA Alto Adige Chardonnay DOC 2020 at 12-14°C, to enhance both the fruity component and the complexity given by aging. It does not require decantation but can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to open up better, especially if served young or just uncorked.
