Trentino Chardonnay Maso Furli 2017/18

Trentino Chardonnay Maso Furli, rich, textured Chardonnay, natural wine, fresh, elegant. Trentino white wine at its best. Lovely rich and textured Chardonnay with characteristic regional freshness. 70% of the fermentation takes places in used barrels, the rest in stainless steel. The Chardonnay goes very well with some hearty white meat dishes like Pork and Potatoes with Rosemary.

Marco Zanoni is one of the nice guys of artisan wine production, good friends with Eugnio Rosi and Alessandro Fanti who make up 3 of the group forming the Dolomitici wine producing association. They all make superb wines with passion and care in every drop of earthy, savoury juice. Production is tiny, just 4 hectares and around 16000 bottles in total, and are produced with respect for the land. His wines are clean, complex, very moreish and always satisfying. Whilst his wines tend to be quite big in terms of alcohol, the 300m altitude of the estate helps preserve freshness, and there is an incredible texture to his wines, which is testament to his skill and passion.
