Nals Margreid Chardonnay Magred 2022

Nals Margreid is a winery in the Alto Adige Italy. The winery was established as a cooperative in 1932 and they source fruit from over 300 trusted growers in the area. The focus is always on quality and being ecologically aware. They have made a name for themselves highlighting local varieties and the differences between the multitude of tiny vineyard sites.

Nestled in the charming region of Magrè, where gentle slopes meet altitudes ranging from 220 to 350 meters, these vineyards get the most of the Northern Italian sun with a southern/south-eastern exposure. The unique white chalky gravel soils, enriched with abundant humus, lend their distinct character to this extraordinary wine.

Crafted with utmost care and precision, the grapes of Margred are meticulously hand-harvested, ensuring only the finest selection. The clarified must undergoes a gentle fermentation process, lasting approximately three weeks, within carefully selected 30 hl wooden barrels. To further enhance its quality, the young wine is then aged on the lees for an additional eight months, allowing it to develop remarkable depth and complexity.

A straw yellow hue in the glass. On the nose, you will encounter an exquisite harmony of pineapple, melon, and passion fruit, accompanied by delicate undertones of aromatic herbs. With each sip a fresh, rich sensation on the palate with a beautiful velvety texture, culminating in a lingering and satisfying finish.

Pair with spaghetti with clams, or swordfish tortellini, where the wine's depth and finesse harmonize with the delicate flavours.
