Bella Storia Chardonnay Bio - Cielo e Terra

With its shiny straw-yellow color in the glass and gentle golden reflections, Bella Storia Chardonnay Organic - Cielo e Terra immediately invites you to take the first sip. As you pour, a delicate aroma rises, reminiscent of ripe banana, juicy peach and subtle vanilla. Behind this lies a fine note of sweet pear, fresh citrus zest and a touch of nutty caramel.

On the nose, this Chardonnay from Veneto shows a lot of charm and clarity. Ripe yellow fruits such as peach and mirabelle are joined by hints of butter and fresh brioche. A delicate floral trace, reminiscent of white blossoms, adds lightness. Subtle spice notes of nutmeg and a hint of almond round off the picture. A fine touch of minerality recalls cool stones after a summer shower.

On the palate, Bella Storia Chardonnay Organic - Cielo e Terra appears juicy, soft and creamy. The texture is pleasantly buttery, yet always carried by a lively freshness. The fruit remains clear and pure. Ripe peach, yellow apple and banana meet lemon, some grapefruit and a touch of exotic melon. The wine shows a medium body with lovely fullness without seeming heavy. The acidity is lively, finely integrated and gives the wine drive.

In the mid-palate, the subtle spiciness from the maturation comes to the fore. Delicate notes of butter, hazelnut and a hint of vanilla are reminiscent of buttered toast and freshly baked pastries. The aromas are harmoniously interwoven with the fruit. The dry style of the wine directs the focus to clarity and structure. The delicate, creamy texture caresses the palate and directly invites the next sip.

The finish is surprisingly long and elegant. A fine film remains on the tongue, shaped by yellow stone fruit, butter and a touch of citrus. In the finale, slightly nutty tones and a subtle salty note emerge. This creates an exciting contrast of creaminess and freshness that makes you want more.

Warm days produce aromatic grapes, cool nights preserve the freshness of the acidity. The soils, with their limestone, clay and gravel components, give the wine structure, minerality and grip.

Production of Bella Storia Chardonnay Organic by Cielo e Terra

The grapes for this Chardonnay come from selected vineyards in Veneto. The region features a landscape of gentle hills, wide plains and river courses. Limestone and clay soils with gravel inclusions store heat and water optimally. This gives the vines a stable foundation for aromatic and expressive grapes.

In the vineyard, Cielo e Terra relies on certified organic cultivation. The winegrowers focus on gentle soil management, balanced canopy work and moderate yields. The vines reward this great care with grapes full of aroma and clarity. Harvest takes place at the ideal time, when the balance of sugar, acidity and aroma is perfect. Part of the harvest takes place in the early morning hours to bring the grapes cool into the cellar.

In the cellar, the producer relies on gentle processing. After the grapes arrive, they undergo a careful selection. Only high-quality, ripe fruit is allowed into the must. The berries are gently pressed so that no harsh tannins enter the wine. A short maceration time enhances the fruit aromas without making the wine heavy.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Cool fermentation temperatures preserve the fresh fruit and delicate citrus notes. The result is a Chardonnay with clear aromatics and a radiant profile. After fermentation, the young wine rests for some time on the fine lees. During this period, the cellar master occasionally stirs the lees to promote the creamy texture and buttery nuances.

Maturation in stainless steel preserves the pure fruit and juicy character of the wine. At the same time, the work on the fine lees enhances the soft mouthfeel. This approach combines freshness and creaminess into a harmonious whole. With Bella Storia Chardonnay, Cielo e Terra aims to elegantly unite drinking pleasure, authenticity and organic standards. The result is a wine with moderate alcohol, good drive on the palate and a delicate length.

Serving recommendations for Bella Storia Chardonnay Organic by Cielo e Terra

As a food companion, this Chardonnay shows great versatility. Its creamy, buttery texture pairs wonderfully with delicate starters and fine fish dishes. With salmon carpaccio with lemon and dill, the wine unfolds its full radiance. It also forms a harmonious pairing with pan-fried pike-perch with an herb crust and young vegetables.

The wine goes very well with pasta and risotto. It accompanies a creamy risotto with green asparagus or porcini mushrooms with subtle richness. With tagliatelle in a creamy lemon sauce or pasta with salmon and fresh herbs, it fully plays to its strengths. The fine acidity cuts elegantly through the sauce and keeps the palate refreshed.

The poultry kitchen also finds an elegant partner in Bella Storia Chardonnay. With pan-fried chicken breast with rosemary and roasted vegetables, its buttery character is very well matched. It also easily complements light veal dishes in creamy sauces, such as sliced veal with mushrooms.

Vegetarian dishes provide another appealing stage for this wine. Especially with roasted vegetables with olive oil, herbs and a little lemon, the Chardonnay is very tasty. Soft goat cheese, mild brie or a young Gouda also find an ideal partner in the glass.

The wine is an excellent choice as an aperitif in convivial company. It also shows its charming side during a relaxed evening on the balcony or terrace. For festive occasions, it accompanies the menu from the first course to the main dish. As a gift for Chardonnay lovers, it always leaves a well-balanced impression.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature between 8 and 10 degrees is recommended. When slightly chilled, the wine shows its freshness and delicate fruit most clearly. A large white wine glass with a slightly bulbous shape is ideal, as it gives the wine space to unfold. A carafe is suitable for this wine especially if you want the temperature to rise slightly.

When stored well in a cool, dark place, Bella Storia Chardonnay Organic by Cielo e Terra provides stable enjoyment for several years. In the first few years, it shines with fresh fruit and lively creaminess. In this way, it accompanies both spontaneous moments of enjoyment and carefully planned evenings with style and character.
