In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, almond blossom, white peach, honey, hay
Palate: yellow stone fruit, almond cream, lemon pith, saline finish
Single-vineyard Chardonnay from the Salars cru. Almond cream and yellow stone fruit over a saline finish, in the restrained Friulian Chardonnay idiom rather than the New World oak style.
What it pairs with
-
Risotto with porcini
Almond cream aromatics handle the mushroom umami; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch. -
Roast guinea fowl
Honey and hay aromatics pair with the bird's nutty fat; high acidity scrubs the chicken fat. -
Aged Comte cheese
Almond cream echoes the cheese's nutty depth; saline finish lifts the rind's umami.
History

Frequently asked about Ronco del Gnemiz Salars Chardonnay
What does Salars Chardonnay taste like?
Yellow apple, almond blossom, white peach, honey and hay on the nose; yellow stone fruit, almond cream, lemon pith and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long finish.
How does Salars differ from a Cote de Beaune Chardonnay?
Salars takes the restrained-oak Friulian idiom rather than the new-oak New World style. Lower extract, higher acid, more saline finish, less toast and tropical fruit.
When should I drink Salars?
Drink between 3 and 15 years from vintage. Almond cream and honey aromatics deepen with bottle age from year 5 onwards.
