Love is in the Air!

IL CUORE Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown exclusively in the cool coastal region of Mendocino County, the viticultural “heart” of California. Vineyards in this region invoke Chardonnays that are fresh with apple and pear flavors, complemented by floral nuances in the bouquet. The fresh, graceful style of IL CUORE Chardonnay results from cold fermentation in small stainless steel vessels and small components of barrel fermentation in mostly neutral small oak cooperage. The balanced use of oak in our winemaking offers versatility with a wide range of foods.
