Tenute Lunelli Villa Margon Chardonnay Trentino 2020 750 ML

Details

In the 1980s, after more than a hundred years experience gained in the production of their legendary Ferrari Trentodoc Sparkling Wines, the Lunelli family decided to link their own name to a range of hand crafted still wines produced from grapes grown in the familys estate vineyards on the slopes of the mountains surrounding Trento. The Tenute Lunelli range includes three wineries in three different regions of Italy: Tenuta Margon in Trentino, Tenuta Podernovo in Tuscany and Tenuta Castelbuono in Umbria. All three Tenuta Lunelli estates have a shared philosophy founded upon: respect for the diversity, identity and origin of each territory, a holistic approach to Sustainable & Organic environmental protocols, and Patience practiced as a virtue.

Villa Margon, which takes its name from the magnificent sixteenth century mountain villa, is the familial home of the Lunelli family, and acts as a hospitality centerpiece to guests of the Lunelli Group. The Trefoil in the crest of Villa Margon represents the distinct contributions of the three cultures that have claimed Trentino through the ages- Roman, Bavarian and Austro/Hungarian. The wines of Villa Margon have been certified organic since 2017.
