Chardonnay

Originally from France, more precisely from the Champagne and Burgundy areas. Nowadays, thanks to its high adaptability, it has become one of the so called "international" grape varieties, that is the most cultivated in every part of the world. Used exclusively for wine making and production of quality wines, often in purity but can be assembled with other grapes to ennoble.

COMMENT ON THE CLONE

Italian clone of medium vigor, medium production - low. Low fertility. Suitable for different types of soils and climates, as long as not too humid. Recommended training systems: all also mechanizable, as long as not too tight. Biotype sensitive to spring frost and water stagnation where it shows phenomena of infertility, medium sensitive to oidium and botrytis, less susceptibility to rot. It’s early in all of its phenological eras.

Originally from Germany, the grape variety was discovered in an ancient vineyard in the Rhineland - Palatinate region. Currently, thanks to studies and research carried out by the Geisenheim Institute, the grape variety has been registered as a new Chardonnay clone that differs from the classics for its high acidity and flavor and aroma of lemon - tangerine. Used exclusively for wine making and production of quality wines, in purity is vinified both as still wine and as sparkling wine.
