Varieties
Chenin Blanc
Characteristics of the grape
Medium oval grape, thick and consistent skin, slightly pruinose with a yellow color. Pulp with a unique sapid and acid flavor.
Sensory profile of the wine
The wines produced using the Chenin Blanc variety are typically fresh, medium body, moderately alcoholic with a mild to high acidity. The wines have scents of honey and white flowers. To the palate there are marked notes of white pulpy fruits such as ripe apple, pear and peach. Also, the honey notes of the Chenin Blanc make the wines persistent with a sweet fruity finish.
Mandrarossa wines produced from this variety
Mandrarossa chose this variety to produce its Brut using the Charmat method, because of its good level of acidity and its naturally high sugar residual. A sapid and elegant sparkling wine, with a long and persistent finish, ideal for experimenting new pairings. Blended in a small percentage with Fiano, the Chenin Blanc gives the Santannella character and the right acidity.
