Rapitalà Chardonnay Conte Hugue has a light golden yellow color. It opens on the nose with broad fruity and sweet sensations typical of Chardonnay and with the aromatic hints of peach, apricot, toasted bread and vanilla. A soft wine with notes of butter, exotic fruit and vanilla, a spacious and satisfying structure with a long and persistent aftertaste.
The alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks. After 2/3 of the fermentation is complete, the wine is pumped into French oak barrels where it remains in contact with the yeast cells for 10 months. After bottling, the bottle remains in the cellar for at least 3 months to mature.
The Conte Hugues is a beautiful Chardonnay that bears the family coat of arms, in honor of the founder of Tenuta Rapitalà.
