Fermentation took place in ten separate batches to build complexity. Approximately 15% of the must fermented spontaneously, the remainder with selected yeasts. After fermentation, only free-run wine was used for aging.

The Nasco grape variety is usually vinified sweet, but Argiolas has opted for dry aging. For this, the harvest is advanced a month, and 85 percent Nasco and 15 percent Vermentino are vinified together. After the harvest, a very gentle pressing and natural decantation, the wine is aged for 60 days on the lees, with a small portion aged in French barriques.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A white wine of great class\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Iselis Nasco DOC shines straw yellow in the glass, and the nose develops aromas reminiscent of yellow flowers and yellow fruit, gorse, and melons. On the palate, this white wine is beautifully refined, generous, full-bodied, fresh, and rounded, carried by a creamy texture. Hints of marzipan and delicate bitter almonds linger on the long finish. A white wine of great class. Pairs well with ravioli with grated Parmesan, risotto with squid or artichoke, pasta with shrimp, or grilled swordfish.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775785341007,"sku":"9368","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ArgiolasIselisNascodiCagliari_1.webp?v=1770191063"},{"product_id":"talo-san-marzano-chardonnay","title":"Talo San Marzano Chardonnay","description":"Talo San Marzano Chardonnay is a true paradise for all Chardonnay lovers.

The vineyards are situated on ancient Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilized seabed, a soil type known for its pronounced minerality and crisp acidity. The relatively cool climate slows the Chardonnay's ripening, allowing aromas of citrus and white flowers to develop gently without losing its fresh character. Stylistically, the wine fits seamlessly with the philosophy behind Les Grappillages, in which Delaunay approaches the classic Burgundy appellations with the same precision as its top cuvées, but in a more accessible and immediately drinkable form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003e The harvest takes place with a strong focus on selection, using only healthy and optimally ripe bunches. In the cellar, the grapes are carefully pressed and fermented, after which the wine is aged entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This choice of steel and controlled temperatures is intended to preserve the natural freshness, citrus fruit, and salty minerality of Chablis, without the influence of wood or heavy structures. After aging, a final blend is created that reflects the typical characteristics of the terroirs around Chablis as purely as possible, with an alcohol content of around 12% and a clear, unpolished profile that perfectly reflects what Les Grappillages stands for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2371\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2373\" data-end=\"2397\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2373\" data-end=\"2397\"\u003eChardonnay – Chablis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2767\"\u003e The Chablis appellation is entirely dedicated to Chardonnay, and in this cuvée, the grape is therefore the sole protagonist. In the cool climate of the Yonne Valley and on the Kimmeridgian limestone soils, Chardonnay is neither creamy nor heavy, but rather taut, mineral, and citrus-driven, with plenty of tension in the acidity and a distinct salty note typical of this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2769\" data-end=\"2800\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"3728\"\u003e In the glass, Laurent Delaunay Chablis Les Grappillages is a light golden yellow with a sparkling, clear color. The nose opens with fresh notes of lemon and mandarin, complemented by delicate aromas of white flowers and a subtle, chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is dry and precise, with a cool citrus structure, a distinct flinty note, and lively acidity that keeps everything taut and energetic. The texture is slender but not thin, allowing the wine to roll elegantly over the tongue and culminate in a fresh, long finish with further lemon, a light saltiness, and a chalky tension. Ideally, serve this Chablis at around 10 to 12°C as an aperitif or with classic pairings such as oysters, grilled scallops, shrimp, or other refined shellfish. Its fresh, mineral style also comes into its own at Perfectewijn, particularly well paired with creamy goat cheese, sushi, or sashimi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44424501297231,"sku":"2707\/24","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/LaurentDelaunayChablisLesGrappillages2024.webp?v=1769683072"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/collections\/international_drink_wine_day.webp?v=1769779901","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/international-drink-wine-day.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
