<p>:The Vigna AU Chardonnay Riserva of the Selection VIGNA label is crystal-clear and shimmering dark straw yellow. First a mineral aroma of flint and walnut is developed before a multitude of aromas, with yellow exotic fruits and flowers, combine to create a complex bouquet. The wine is intensive and succulent on the palate in counterpoint with a pleasant acidity and fine tannins. Its full body and harmony are reflected in a highly persistent finish.Grape variety:Chardonnay – South Tyrol DOC RiservaProduction area:The vineyard lies northeast of Entiklar at 853 – 1,050 feet above sea-level.

At almost 5 %, the humus level is remarkably elevated.Vinification:The grapes are harvested at phenolic maturity with a good sugar-acid balance.
