Astoria “ESTRO” Chardonnay 2023《WC Selection-I161C》

Founded in 1987 by an old family of winemakers, Paolo and Giorgio Polegato’s Astoria prides itself on the quality of its products.

Astoria products are served in the most exclusive restaurants, wineries and bars.

Astoria sells wines produced at its own “Val De Brun Estate” in Refrontolo, in the heart of the DOCG zone Conegliano – Valdobbiadene.

Forty acres, located in one of the most beautiful wine-growing areas in Italy, renowned for its climate, highlight the harmonious succession of hills and vineyards.  

The Company links its name to the product par excellence of the winemaking tradition in Veneto: the PROSECCO; this wine, the Millesimato, was awarded several prizes over the years, including the prestigious Grand Gold Medal at the International Wine Competition at Vinitaly in Verona. Prosecco Millesimato Docg and Refrontolo Passito Docg are the house jewels.

Astoria is not just Prosecco though, as it also produces barrique wines such as Colli di Conegliano Docg, Crevada and Croder, relying on the competence and skills of its highly professional staff.

TECHNOLOGY

The grapes are harvested by hand in September and are lightly crushed. The grape skins undergo cold maceration

and the must undergoes static decantation. Primary fermentation takes place inside steel vats at 18/19°C with the help of selected yeasts. The thus obtained wine remains in contact with the grape skins for a couple of weeks and then is subjected to filtration and tartaric stabilization. After bottling, the wine is allowed to age a couple of months. 

Bouquet:  pleasant, fruity reminding of golden apple and

fresh crust of bread.
