Elena Walch Chardonnay "Cardellino" DOC Alto Adige 2022 750ML
Grape: 100% Chardonnay

The Chardonnay “Cardellino” shows a straw-yellow color, with a complex play of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, a mineral fullness and a spicy touch of tobacco. On the palate, this classic by Elena Walch surprises with exciting freshness and racy minerality, with elegance and juicy length. Inviting, refreshing and drinkable.
Elena Walch is considered a pioneer in Alto Adige, not only for the fact that she was one of the most important female winemakers in Italy, but also for introducing innovation into the region. Marrying into the Walch family she gained access to some of the best parcels of fruit, and subsequently sought to improve production from soil to bottle.
An intense and brilliant straw yellow characterizes the Pinot Grigio Vigna “Castel Ringberg”. Complexity of fruit aromas, in particular of ripe pears, a touch of sage and lime and spicy notes enrich the bouquet. In the mouth, elegance and harmony dominate, combined with a decisive well-balanced structure, assembled by intensity and creamy roundness. A Pinot Grigio with great character.
