It has been possible to trace the origin of Chardonnay through the analysis of microsatellite markers in nuclear DNA. This grape variety undoubtedly results from a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc. Its remote origin is Dalmatia, from where it was brought to France by Roman legions led by Probus. Chardonnay grapes found their preferred home in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne. Its introduction to Italy (Trentino) was due to the Agricultural Institute of San Michele, and it later spread to some areas of Friuli.

Tasting notes

It is the most international of wines thanks to its pleasantness and wide range of food pairings. Due to its freshness, it pairs perfectly with fish-based appetizers, soups, risottos, pasta dishes, and vegetable-based main courses—especially if they include fish—even when accompanied by cream sauces. It should absolutely not be paired with dishes containing tomato-based sauces, as the acidity of the tomato clashes too much with the buttery characteristics of Chardonnay.
