Vintage Report

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness during the first two weeks of August, after a strict selection process. Only the best grapes were used to ensure the quality and intensity of the aromas.

The Tenuta San Marco Chardonnay is a beautiful expression of Salento's unique terroir, meticulously crafted by Tenuta San Marco. Rooted in a land rich in history and culture, this wine exemplifies the dedication and craftsmanship of a winery committed to preserving authenticity and quality. With a bright straw-yellow color, enriched with lemony highlights, the Chardonnay reveals a world of aromatic complexity and finesse.

The perfect base for Tenuta San Marco Chardonnay

The Salento region primarily features clay soils. This plays a key role in the development of grapes, including Chardonnay. This soil contributes to the ripeness and purity of flavor that characterize Tenuta San Marco Chardonnay. With a density of 4,500 vines per hectare, the winery strives to maximize not only the quality but also the intensity of the aromas and flavors in each grape. This pursuit of excellence is reflected in the wine, which offers unparalleled freshness and excellent persistence on the palate. During the first two weeks of August, the grapes are harvested at peak ripeness. Only the finest grapes are considered good enough and are therefore rigorously selected. The gentle pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks at 15 degrees Celsius ensure that the natural characteristics of the Chardonnay grape are fully expressed. This careful vinification process results in a wine that not only embodies the spirit of Salento but also sets a new standard for white wines from the region.

What does the Tenuta San Marco Chardonnay taste like?

Upon pouring, the Tenuta San Marco Chardonnay enchants with its radiant straw-yellow color, like a glimpse of sunlight dancing through the leaves of a vineyard. The aroma reveals notes of citrus blossom, peach, pineapple, and subtle hints of vanilla and toasted nuts. The palate is a silky Chardonnay with a pleasant texture. Juicy pears and ripe melons intertwine with delicate notes of toasted oak, while a refreshing acidity creates a lively and balanced finish that lingers.
