    The Chardonnay "Cardellino" was the first wine by Elena Walch and is still probably the most popular wine of the winery. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the "cardellino" - builds its nest only in Chardonnay vines, while not nesting in other grape varieties. Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an elegant and characterful Chardonnay, which has gained many lovers with minerality, freshness, paired with suppleness and excellent structure.

      Vintage Description:

      This Chardonnay convinces with a strong, straw yellow color and with a complex play of fruity aromas: citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral richness and a spicy hint of tobacco. On the palate with exciting freshness and mineral race, elegance and juicy length - inviting, refreshing and easy to drink. (Tasting note winery)
