Chardonnay Nicopeja DOC Venezia

At The Vineyard
Perfectly adapted to the terroir over the course of decades, thanks to clonal selection, Chardonnay Bosco del Merlo is distinguished by its finesse and elegance. It is harvested in the early hours of the day in order to preserve its aromatic components as much as possible.
The must obtained by soft pressing is fermented at 15°C to enhance the aromas. After the must ages on fine lees in steel tanks for 4 months in order to obtain finesse and elegance.
 
Tasting
Chardonnay Nicopeja is characterised by a brilliant pale yellow colour and a fresh, fragrant and typically fruity scent. Hints of varieties of golden apple are easily recognisable. The taste is inviting, with an agreeable acidic tone that exudes pleasantness.

When sipped cool, extremely fine, elegant and delicate. Ever-present in the most prestigious of banquets.
 
What does Nicopeja mean?
Attributed to the Greek origins of the Madonna, it means “Bearer of victory”. It is the name of an icon kept in the Basilica of San Marco in Venice.
 
Pairings
Perfect as an aperitif, it also combines well with starters, delicate first courses, with vegetables, both cooked and raw. Try it with fish, especially in delicate tartare as amberjack and green apple, or fresh bass carpaccio.
