Adelaide is a sapid white wine made from Chardonnay vines trained high in the ‘Pergola semplice veronese’ style on the hills of the eastern shore of Lake Garda.

Fully matured grapes are vinificated in the traditional way whit a short maceration of the skins with the juice (6-8 hours) at low temperature.

Adelaide is pal yellow in colour, with a smooth dry flavour enlivened by a pleasant, slightly bitter nuance. It is perfectly suited to first courses, fish and white meats. It should be served cool and is suggested for drinking while the wine is young.
