Tenute Manduano, an emerging Apulian winery, has been able to capture the essence of the territory and translate it into wines of character. Among its creations, Maarì, a white wine made from Chardonnay grapes, stands out for its elegance and complexity, offering a unique sensory experience that tells of Puglia in every sip.
Chardonnay in Puglia: An unexpected pairing
Chardonnay, an international grape variety of great versatility, has found in Puglia an ideal terroir to express its personality. The Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, and the mineral-rich soils give Apulian Chardonnay grapes unique characteristics, different from those of classic French or Californian Chardonnays. Tenute Manduano has seized this opportunity, creating a wine that surprises and fascinates.
Maarì: A Wine that Tells of Puglia
Maarì is a white wine with a brilliant straw-yellow colour, with greenish reflections. On the nose, it opens with an intense and complex bouquet, where notes of tropical fruit, citrus, white flowers and delicate mineral nuances stand out. On the palate, it is fresh and savoury, with good structure and a persistent finish. Maarì is a versatile wine, ideal for accompanying fish-based dishes, shellfish, fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables.
The Art of Winemaking: Passion and Tradition
The production of Maarì is the result of careful work in the vineyard and in the cellar. The Chardonnay grapes are hand-picked at the right level of ripeness, to preserve freshness and aromas. Vinification takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature, to enhance the varietal characteristics of the grape. The wine then ages in the bottle for a few months, gaining further complexity and harmony.
Tenute Manduano: Apulian Excellence
Tenute Manduano is a young and dynamic operation, led by the passion of Michela Manduano and her brother Vito. Their philosophy is based on respect for the territory and the pursuit of quality at every stage of production. Maarì is just one of the many wines that bear witness to Tenute Manduano’s commitment to creating products that tell of Puglia and its traditions.
Tenute Manduano’s Maarì is a white wine that surprises for its elegance and complexity. An Apulian Chardonnay that best expresses the potential of this grape variety in a unique terroir. A wine to discover and taste, to let yourself be won over by the flavours and aromas of Puglia.
