Description
Casa Vinicola Antonutti is a winery in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The four generations of the Antonutti family have been growing grapes in the heart of the Grave del Friuli for just over a hundred years. The winery now owns about fifty hectares of vineyards. The rivers Meduna, Cellina and Taglimento have brought large amounts of dolomite limestone into the area, and the area itself is protected from northerly winds, but benefits from its proximity to the sea. Antonutti grape grows in a place called Barbeano, where the soil is pebbled. The difference between day and night temperatures is large, so the grapes can be harvested later when they are already full of aromas.
Winemaking
The grapes are gently pressed, followed by maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This Chardonnay has a storage potential of 3 to 4 years or longer under ideal conditions.
Tasting notes
The wine has an intense straw yellow color. Prominent floral aromas, tropical fruits, peach. Delicately round and pleasantly silky taste, well balanced, which opens up a convoluted complex of aromas.
Serving temperature: 10° — 12°C
Pairing recommendation
Excellent as an aperitif. Ideal with appetizers, fish soups and white meats.
