Until the end of the 1970s, in fact, Chardonnay in Alto Adige was used in very small percentages in blends based on Pinot Bianco. A grape variety that was not much considered, which was vinified in purity for the first time in 1982, precisely thanks to the work done by San Michele Appiano. Since then, this international variety has had a great rise, and today the winery offers it with a \u003cstrong\u003etypically varietal label\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring a persistent sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay wine made by the San Michele Appiano winery comes from the homonymous grapes, cultivated in vineyards exposed to the southeast and southwest, located at an altitude between 400 and 500 meters above sea level, around the municipalities of Appiano and Caldaro. The yields per hectare are about 70 hectoliters, and the terroir is characterized by a gravelly component, where there is a significant presence of limestone. The grapes, harvested during the month of September, ferment in steel, partially undergoing malolactic fermentation.\u003cstrong\u003eAlways\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ein steel\u003c\/strong\u003e the wine then rests for a few months, until the bottling operations are carried out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Chardonnay San Michele Appiano is a white wine that, in the glass, announces itself with a bright hue, reminiscent of straw yellow, crossed by light shades that tend more towards greenish at the rim. The olfactory spectrum is structured on intense sensations of ripe white-fleshed fruit and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is light-bodied, \u003cstrong\u003eslim and agile\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a pleasantly smooth sip, presenting a fresh texture that enhances the drink; it finishes with a good persistent finale.
