Passopisciaro: Passobianco 2023

Passobianco is a single-varietal Chardonnay, crafted with incredibly intensive manual work. During the harvest season, several picking rounds are carried out within 2 weeks to ensure only perfectly ripe grapes are harvested. Fermentation takes place at 23 degrees in a steel tank for a full 20 days. The aging then occurs for 18 months in cement and large wooden vessels, with the wine being transferred every two months, alternating between cement and large wood. Medium golden yellow.

This young Chardonnay needs a few minutes in the glass to fully unfold, becoming increasingly aromatic and complex. Crisp yellow apples and juicy pears with white blossoms and rich apricot. Concentrated citrus fruit and delicately bitter herbs are finely interwoven. On the palate, this wonderful saltiness and precision bring real tension. Fresh mint, linden blossom, and fragrant cool alpine herbs. Juicy yet straightforward and intensely mineral. More Chablis than Meursault. This is an extraordinary Chardonnay, velvety, elegant, and at the same time refreshing – an absolute champion of enjoyable drinkability.
