LA MONACESCA ECCLESIA

This wine is obtained with 8 different French Chardonnay clones. This clone mix is used because in this area the Chardonnay grape can have a breakdown of acidity in certain seasons. If you use more clones, every year you have a medium level of acidity and so you can resolve this problem. The exposure of this vineyard is completely different. Here we have a East-West exposure, the contrary of the Verdicchio (North-South). Chardonnay doesn’t like too much sun and it prefers an environment of little humidity.

These clusters are handled in the same manner as the Verdicchio. The harvest, however, is the first day of September, while for the Verdicchio Cru it is the 10th of October. The Ecclesia is normally aged for one year, without wood.

Ecclesia has a light dry fruity aroma and a delicious flavor with well structured depth and elegance. This wine is excellent as simply a sipping wine or to serve with seafood dishes, white meats and pastas. Serve chilled.
