Adagio IGT Marche Chardonnay Collina delle Fate winery.

The vineyards are located on medium-textured, calcareous soils. The vineyards are planted at an altitude between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, with south-southwest exposure.

Simple Guyot training system.

During the first ten days of August, the grapes are washed; the grapes are then harvested by hand.

Vinification - The resulting grapes are sent to a hopper where carbon dioxide is blown to prevent any form of oxidation, and then to a tube-in-tube heat exchanger to lower the grape temperature (from a hypothetical 26-28°C to 13°C).

At this point, the white grapes are pressed to obtain the must, and only the best ones are transferred to 20hl barrels of untoasted French oak, where they will ferment for eight months.

Aged for 3 to 4 years

Tasting Notes

Yellow like the fruit of a distant land, yellow like the broom bushes of these hills. Warmth and color, a signature of the land.

Exotic in its fruitiness, with pineapple and passion fruit, and in its spice, reminiscent of vanilla and blond tobacco. The bouquet follows a light smoky note from the wood, framed by the subtle fragrance of hazelnut and almond, on a fine and elegant background of small yellow flowers.

A strong acidity guides the sip, and the hint of fruitiness promised on the nose is complemented by a subtle citrus note that infuses verve and freshness. The splendid limestone hills characterize the wine with a good savory character and a mineral veil that emerges on the finish.

Pairings: Fairly structured first courses based on fish or vegetables; elaborate and flavorful second courses, both fish and white meats, including grilled.

As an aperitif, pair with medium-aged cheeses.
