Chardonnay 'Cardellino' Elena Walch 2025

The Chardonnay “Cardellino” is a balanced wine that is immediately understandable thanks to a focused and precise personality. The nose is a complex play of layered aromas, where it is easy to have different inputs, from fruity to spicy, while on the palate freshness and minerality are the protagonists of a refined and long sip. A bottle that is one of the great classics presented by Elena Walch and certifies the skill of the winery in handling the starting grapes in purity, enhancing its salient and most peculiar aspects. Versatile in the kitchen, it pairs well with both fish-based dishes and white meats.

This “Cardellino” Chardonnay comes from the winery's own vineyards located in a hilly position, about 400 meters above sea level. The grapes are gently pressed and the obtained must undergoes static decantation. The subsequent fermentation takes place at controlled temperature both in steel and, for 15% of the total mass, in barrique. This “duplication” is also maintained in the following maturation phase, in which the rests for a total of 5 months.

The “Cardellino” is a Chardonnay that visually announces itself with a straw yellow color, of beautiful chromatic intensity. The nose is wide and varied, offering a series of different but finely integrated aromas, such as exotic fruit, spicy notes, and hints of honey. On the palate, it is light-bodied, lively, with a sip characterized by a fresh and savory soul, which contributes to making the finish persistent. A label with a delicate profile, with which the Elena Walch winery interprets flawlessly one of the most cultivated international grape varieties in the world.
