Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 02/2026Summer orchards in mountain air create their own kind of magic. Candied lemon brightens fresh apple notes while wet stone minerality reminds you of altitude. The palate brings that same alpine generosity: rich texture balanced by mountain freshness, citrus lift keeping everything energetic. A wine that captures Alto Adige's warmer valley sites (JP)

Notes
The 2024 Girlan "Marna" Chardonnay (Alto Adige DOC) is a razor-sharp, texturally compelling masterpiece that highlights the high-altitude potential of the Bassa Atesina hills. Sourced from estate parcels nestled between 450 and 500 meters above sea level, the wine takes its name from the marna (limestone-marl) soils that dominate these cool-climate terraces. Cantina Girlan vinifies this fruit with a focus on structural clarity, utilizing a combination of stainless steel and large, neutral oak casks for fermentation and aging on the fine lees, ensuring the variety's pristine alpine energy remains entirely unmasked by sweet new-wood makeup.
