Collavini Dei Sassi Cavi Chardonnay

A Chardonnay from Friuli that shows what the region in northeastern Italy can do with the grape variety: not a butter bomb, but a wine with clear contours and southern alpine freshness.

Collavini is one of Friuli's most renowned wineries. The family has been cultivating grapes for generations in the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC – limestone and marl soils that impart minerality and vibrancy to the wines. The Dei Sassi Cavi (roughly translated as "the hollow stones") embodies this character in its name.

In the glass, it displays aromas of ripe citrus fruit, a hint of yeast, and a subtle mineral undertone. On the palate, it remains lively despite a certain richness – the acidity maintains balance without being harsh. The finish is longer than is typical for simple estate Chardonnays.

In detail

How does the Collavini Dei Sassi Cavi Chardonnay taste?

The Collavini Dei Sassi Cavi Chardonnay tastes of ripe citrus fruit, a hint of yeast, and a fine mineral undertone. It is dry and medium-bodied in alcohol at 12.5% vol. It has nothing to do with a butter bomb: it shows clear contour and south-alpine freshness.

On the palate, the wine has a certain fullness. The acidity maintains the balance without stinging. This keeps the Chardonnay lively and makes it juicy to drink.

The finish is longer than one is used to from simple estate Chardonnays. The minerality comes from the limestone and marl soils on which the Collavini family has been cultivating for generations. The name "Dei Sassi Cavi" loosely translates to "of the hollow stones" and refers to this character. The wine carries the DOC designation of origin and comes from the Collio in Friuli. It is sealed with a natural cork.

What does the Collavini Dei Sassi Cavi Chardonnay pair with?

The Collavini Dei Sassi Cavi Chardonnay pairs with fish and seafood. It harmonizes particularly well with seafood risotto and grilled octopus. It is also a harmonious companion for a multi-course fish menu.

Its fullness and lively acidity also support creamier dishes. Pasta with truffle cream sauce is an example, as is ripe Scamorza. Besides that, it pairs with poultry, salad, and vegetarian dishes.

A summer evening on the terrace is a suitable occasion. Serve the Chardonnay at 10 to 12 °C, then freshness and minerality come into their own best.

  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
