This is Stefano Inama's vision of a terroir-driven Chardonnay off the beaten track. While the winery enjoys worldwide recognition for its Soave Classico wines, this Chardonnay del Veneto epitomises the experimental side of the winery – and impressively proves that the volcanic soils of the region can also lend exceptional expressiveness to international varieties. The grapes come from vineyards in Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone, where a fascinating geological peculiarity comes into play: this wine is the only Chardonnay cuvée from the winery that combines grapes from both volcanic basalt soils and limestone formations. This rare combination – volcanic lava meets sedimentary limestone layers – creates a complex terroir that gives the Chardonnay both mineral depth and structural elegance. Stefano and his now highly active sons Matteo and Alessio consistently refrain from using wood – the focus is entirely on the purity of the fruit and the expression of the volcanic terroir.

Bright straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The bouquet reveals the characteristic elegance of this special origin: aromas of golden apples and pears blend with a hint of banana, while floral notes and a fine minerality betray the volcanic character. The palate reveals a balanced, structured wine with lively freshness and a persistent finish. A Chardonnay that proves that Veneto has far more to offer than just Soave Classico – a successful homage to the versatility of the volcanic soils of Monteforte d'Alpone. SUPERIORE.DE
