Villa Chiopris is an established winery in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, known for its elegant and terroir-driven wines. Chardonnay Friuli DOC is an expression of the region’s fresh and mineral style, combining pure fruit character and excellent balance.
Terroir
The vineyards in Friuli DOC are located on the region’s characteristic “ponca” soils – layered marls and sandstones, rich in minerals. The climate is temperate, with influences from the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, which ensures cool nights and slow, even ripening of the grapes.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness. After a soft pressing, fermentation takes place at a controlled low temperature in stainless steel tanks, in order to preserve freshness and varietal aromas. The wine is aged briefly on the fine lees, without the use of oak, for greater density and complexity.
Organoleptic characteristics
