Bright golden yellow with vibrant greenish hues. The aroma is complex and delicate, with hints of flint, citrus fruits, ginger and herbs. Fresh and mineral-like on the palate, with an exceptionally long finish.

Details
The unique terroir of Monte Nibbio is characterised by nutrient-poor soils that are nevertheless rich in very fine gravel, known as scheletro. The distinctive mineral characteristics of the vineyard are reflected in the Nibbio della Sala. A single-variety Chardonnay with good aromatic precision and excellent ageing potential. Very memorable!
Recommendations
A revelatory pairing with fish and seafood dishes complemented by butter. Also pairs well with oven-roasted poultry.
Vinification
The grapes are picked entirely by hand in the early hours of the morning to preserve the purity of the fruit flavours. After harvesting, the must is macerated on the skins for a maximum of two hours at a temperature of 10 °C. The must is then poured into tanks where it is clarified. It is then transferred to new French oak barrels. The wood and the degree of toasting have been delicately balanced to emphasise the typical character of the Chardonnay. The wine ages for six months in barriques, during which both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are completed. After this maturation period, Nibbio della Sala is stored in the bottle for a further 30 months before finally being made available for sale.
