Following its acclaimed comeback in 2022, the next vintage confirms it: the Linticlarus Chardonnay is back – and is here to stay. The selective harvest from the finest Chardonnay plots in Entiklar, at an altitude of 300 to 340 metres in the immediate vicinity of the legendary Vigna AU, produces a wine of remarkable elegance. The glacial moraine soils, with their high limestone content and natural salts, shape the wine’s character. Twelve months’ ageing in barriques and tonneaux lend structure and finesse without overpowering the fruit.

A bright, deep straw-yellow colour. Complex and expressive on the nose: flinty minerality interwoven with delicate toasted notes of walnut, a sign of advancing maturity. On the palate, a vibrant freshness unfolds, elegantly balanced by ripe pear, quince and a hint of citrus zest. Subtle notes of cedar lend structure and sophistication, emphasising the Burgundian depth. The interplay of fine tannins and well-integrated acidity leads to a balanced, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Yellow apples and pink grapefruit aromas; delicate baking spice, orchard fruits and a creamy mid palate with a touch of acidity." Decanter
