JUROSA Chardonnay 2016 DOC...
It is strange how a grape variety that is so popular throughout the world was confused in Friuli with Pinot Bianco until the late 1970s.<br />Although the entire eastern part of this region has great potential, the variety has not yet entered the hearts of producers, but there are examples that show how this variety<br />can compete with the great Chardonnays of the world.<br />Jurosa is one of them, and its northern, sunny character marks its evolutionary path, capable of improvement and progress over time.<br /><br />Grape variety: Chardonnay<br />Denomination: DOC Friuli Isonzo<br />Vineyard: Cultivated with organic fertilisation and integrated pest management (EU regulations) with no chemical weeding.<br />Harvest: By hand with careful selection of the bunches.<br />Vinification: Fermentation in 500-litre French oak barrels (22-24 °C), maturation in the same containers for 11 months with frequent bâtonnage, bottling and ageing in bottles<br />for a minimum of 12 months.<br />Alcohol content: 13 %.<br />Serving temperature: 11° C<br /><br />After a spring that was not ideal for this variety, the vines reacted well during the summer, giving us a fascinating and well-balanced wine with a northern, sunny character,<br />capable of improving and progressing over time. On the nose, it has notes of apricot, hay, butter and custard; on the palate, it is full and mineral with an acidic streak well<br />balanced by softness. It goes well with all fish dishes, from hot starters and first courses to steamed or stewed main courses, and can also be enjoyed with cheeses and<br />white meats.<br />
