WINE DESCRIPTION
Tenuta Margon Villa Margon Chardonnay is youthful, part barrel aged, refreshing dry white wine with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and almond. Made by the Lunelli Family, who are perhaps better known for their Ferrari Sparkling wine from Trentdoc, this wine serves as a good example of the quality potential of this cooler northern Italian region. The base of the wine is Chardonnay, usually not less than 80%, with Pinot Bianco and in some years, Sauvignon Blanc, making up the balance. The wine is cool fermented with a small proportion matured in old oak to add textural interest. This is a refreshing glass of wine and a good choice for those seeking the familiarity of an international variety with an unmistakeable Italian lean.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Tenuta Margon Villa Margon Chardonnay is a dry white wine that showcases the elegance of the Trentino regions.A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Sauvigon Blanc, its vibrant lemon color immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of grapefruit, lemon and almond. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a crisp texture, with a broad palate from partial maturation in old oak. The finish is clean and cleansing. Try with chicken based pasta dishes and drink within a few years of the vintage.
