Elena Walch Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC

Elena Walch's Alto Adige Chardonnay exemplifies the precision and elegance of northern Italian white winemaking. Grown in the cool Adige Valley, this single-varietal expression balances vibrant primary fruit—green apple and citrus—with measured oak influence that adds butter and toast without overwhelming the wine's natural acidity. Stone fruit and minerality emerge on the mid-palate, while hazelnut and subtle complexity suggest careful winemaking and potential for short-term aging. Medium-Full body and restrained tannin make this a versatile food wine, equally at home with shellfish, roasted poultry, or cream-based pasta.
