Cantina Andrian’s Somereto Chardonnay is grown on the mid-slopes of Alto Adige at 260–380 m a.s.l., in soils of erythroid, argillaceous lime, and dolomite rock. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature, then matured on fine lees for six months.
The wine shows a pale straw-yellow colour with a fruity and intense bouquet of ripe bananas and tropical fruits. On the palate it is dry, medium-bodied, harmonious and very persistent.
