The Lafóa Chardonnay scores 90 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Featured in the Top 25 Northern Italy white wines (Vivino)
What beautiful complexity this top wine has Alto Adige, Northern Italy. Gaia melon, ripe pear, vanilla, blossom, lime, and mango. Supplemented with some licorice, green bell pepper, nuts, and some oak. The beautifully designed label of the Lafóa Chardonnay together with the long and rich finish, they make it complete. This is pure enjoyment. Delicious on its own and alongside a multitude of different dishes. Serve it with chicken or veal, stir-fried mussels with ginger, or pasta with crab. Serve at a temperature of 12 to 14 degrees so that the aromas are expressed at their best. There is more to discover in every sip; it is well worth the price.
The grapes for the Lafóa Chardonnay are harvested by hand in vineyards at an altitude of 550 meters. Fermentation takes place in old and new oak barrels, followed by MLF (malolactic fermentation). After this, the wine ages for a further 10 months ‘sür lie’ (on its own yeast) with bâtonnage, which provides structure and complexity.
Lafóa is synonymous with the beginning of the Alto Adige quality initiative and the groundbreaking work of Cantina Colterenzio in the 1980s. At the time, wine pioneer Luis Raifer not only planted new grape varieties in his vineyard named Lafóa but simultaneously introduced new quality standards: lower yields for better grapes and better wines. It was precisely in this experimental vineyard that the “Lafóa idea” was born: the introduction of new quality standards that satisfy the winemakers and staff of Cantina Colterenzio to this day. Lafóa stands for full-bodied white and red wines that are nevertheless very elegant and have great aging potential. Also try the Lafóa Sauvignon Blanc!
