The Chardonnay from the prestigious 'Lafòa' line of Colterenzio is an intense and smooth white wine, a true excellence of the Alps.

Harvested and briefly cold macerated, fermented in new and used barriques with batonage and partial malolactic fermentation, aged for 10 months in new and used barriques. The bouquet features intense and refined aromas of citrus peels, mountain flowers, alpine butter, and dried fruits. On the palate, it is soft, creamy, and buttery, rich, full-bodied, and characterized by a driving freshness. Perfectly paired with fish dishes, shellfish, and white meats.

LINEA LA FOA
Lafóa: from the pilot vineyard to the flagship wines
The name Lafóa evokes the beginning of the qualitative revolution in South Tyrol and the pioneering work carried out by Cantina Colterenzio in the 1980s. At that time, the pioneer Luis Raifer on the namesake vineyard not only planted new grape varieties but also introduced new quality standards: lower yield per grape and higher quality wine. It was precisely on this pilot vineyard that the “Lafóa idea” was born: the introduction of new quality standards that are still strictly followed today by both the winegrower members and the collaborators in the winery. Today, Lafóa is synonymous with whites and reds with a strong structure, refined and with great aging potential.
THE WINE
The Chardonnay Line Lafóa represents the excellence branded Colterenzio, a wine produced from grapes sourced from selected vineyards in the Cornaiano area that, thanks to care, passion, and aging in barriques, transforms into extremely complex and long-lived tastings. A unique, fine, and harmonious white.
THE COMPANY
Archduke Sigismund, residing at Castel Firmiano in the 15th century, was not the first to appreciate the good wine of Colterenzio. In fact, already around 15 B.C. the Roman colonist Cornelius recognized the extraordinary fertility of this land and decided to settle here, thus laying the foundations for the current wine-growing vocation of Colterenzio. His farm "Cornelianum," which gave its name to the town of Cornaiano, stood on a hill not far away. The ancient tradition was renewed in 1960 when 28 winegrowers founded Cantina Colterenzio. Others joined them over the years, and today Colterenzio has nearly 300 passionate winegrower members who contribute grapes from about 300 hectares of vineyards they own.
