Chardonnay 'Bottega Vinai' Cavit 2024

The Chardonnay from the Trentino winery Cavit is one of the flagship labels of the Bottega Vinai line, designed to showcase the authentic face of the most important native and international varieties cultivated in the region. Chardonnay is one of the absolute protagonists of the Trentino vineyard and produces wines of excellent quality. The choice of wood fermentation, clearly inspired by the most famous models from across the Alps, gives a good complexity and aromatic maturity, while preserving the freshness typical of the whites from the alpine region.

The white Chardonnay Bottega Vinai is one of the bottles that best illustrates the commitment of the Trentino winery Cavit to offer wines with a typical territorial character, which can highlight the best characteristics of the historically cultivated grape varieties in the region. The Chardonnay vineyards are located in the wonderful hilly area of Serravalle in Vallagarina and in the area of the Valle dei Laghi. The mild climate and good ventilation allow for the harvest of healthy bunches with intense aromas, that are harvested only when they reach full ripeness. After a cold prefermentative maceration, the classic white winemaking process is followed with fermentation in wooden barrels. The wine matures in wood for 8 months before being bottled and completes its aging with a few months in the bottle.

The Chardonnay Bottega Vinai from Cavit is an intense and balanced white, which well represents the classic profile of a mountain white, characterized by aromatic richness and a pleasant mineral freshness. In the glass, it presents itself with a light straw yellow color with bright greenish reflections. On the nose, it releases elegant and intense aromas of orange blossom, lemon zest, citrus, peach, apricot, pineapple, banana, soft hints of tropical fruit, nuances of vanilla and pastry. On the palate, it is enveloping and creamy, with a seductive, ripe fruit and good aromatic persistence, crossed by a pleasant savory trail, leading to a fresh and harmonious finish.
