2024 Girlan Chardonnay 0,75 lt
The cultivation of the Chardonnay grapes has a long tradition at Cantina Girlan.
Its dry, particularly fine and delicate aroma, with a full bodied, elegant and lively
palate.
Chardonnay is grown on the rolling hills in Oltradige, at an altitude of 450m
above sea level, and from selected vineyards located in the Bassa Atesina at
300-400m in well aired vineyards. This combination of soil types, volcanic
porphyry rock on the one hand and gravelly limestone soils on the other, give
this wine its unique character
Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then 24 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines.
Today, about 200 greatly committed and motivated winegrowers and their families farm an area covering about 230 hectares of vineyards in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina. Our enologist, Gerhard Kofler, keeps in close personal contact with the winegrowers and provides his professional advice during the growing season. This beneficial exchange of expertise sets the foundations for producing highest quality wines. We pursue the following main objectives: we seek, on one hand, to showcase and promote the historic local grape varieties and on the other, to create impressive characterful wines using international grape varieties yet keeping them closely connected to the land. This is all achieved while respecting nature's flow and rhythms.
