In Avane, derived from the Etruscan Avenal,
contains the trace that has reached us
of the ancient Etruscan presence in the territory of
San Felice. In Avane represents our
best expression of Chardonnay.
Characteristics Vintage
During the 2022 season, no extreme
climatic events occurred, offering favorable conditions for
the development of the vine. The high summer temperatures
were mitigated by the rains of mid-August which
contributed to an optimal ripening process of the
grapes.
Tasting Notes and Pairings
Complex and persistent bouquet of citrus fruits, white flowers
with strong notes of broom and acacia. On the palate, balanced
sensations of freshness and flavor combine with a
pleasant softness. It pairs perfectly
with light first courses, white meats and sushi.
