This wine is produced in the area of Sequals, a mountainous township of the high Grave Friulana region. These lands are swept by the winds of the surrounding Carniche Alps. Striking the white stones there is constant pure sunshine, which reflects upwards, allowing the bunches of chardonnay to be bathed in sunlight from below. Chardonnay Claps is characterized by precise aromas with a fascinating aftertaste: such a combination can only come from a place like this.
