Dario Coos Chardonnay 2021
Chardonnay by Friuli winery Dario Coos is a smooth, elegant and structured white wine. The wine stays in oak barrels during fermentation process and remains on its lees until bottling for about seven months. During this period, it undergoes complete malolactic fermentation resulting in a complex and elegant nose, with typical vanilla scents reminiscent of pastry, melted butter and also ripe fruit. The palate is full bodied and minerally fresh.
Suggested to serve at 14-16 °C (slightly warmer than regular white wine temperature). Food matching ideas include well-structured pasta, risotto dishes, seafood soups, grilled white meat.
How is the wine made?
The wine remains at least 8 months after fermentation on the fine lees in French oak tonneaux.
About the winery
The Coos family has been making wine on the hilly slopes at Ramandolo since the early 19th century. In other words, five generations of Coos devoted their time to the fruits of this land. Today the winery is run by a group of friends with a passion for wine and knowledge of what needs to be done to achieve excellent results.
The winery’s philosophy is to demonstrate what is meant by tradition and traditional techniques in the quest for the original, authentic Ramandolo, combining new production methods and traditional approach.
The winery has a wonderful selection of traditional wines typical for Friuli: the white Verduzzo, Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon and Malvasia; and red Schiopettino, Refosco and Pignolo. And of course Ramandolo in two interpretations – as late harvest and as delicious sweet wine Picolit.
