Chardonnay Rubicone

2021 Rubicone Chardonnay

The Mada Chardonnay Rubicone from the 2021 vintage is a delightful expression of this esteemed varietal hailing from the Rubicone region. It showcases a light-bodied profile that gracefully glides across the palate, delivering a refreshing experience. The acidity is bright and lively, adding a crispness that invigorates the senses. On the nose, expect prominent fruit characteristics with notes of ripe apple and pear, complemented by subtle hints of citrus that bring an additional layer of complexity. This Chardonnay is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood dishes or light salads. Its overall approachability and vibrant character exemplify why Rubicone is gaining recognition as a notable winegrowing region.

Crossing the Rubicone was a momentous event for Julius Caesar, although it is difficult to feel the significance today while standing on the banks of this sleepy rural river. The Rubicone includes wines produced in the eastern part of the Emilia-Romagna region, from the hills of Bologna to the Adriatic coast. Sangiovese reigns here, thriving in the rocky Apennine foothills and fertile plains. Modern examples add Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while more traditional wines blend in the local Pignoletto and Ancellotta varieties. Whites are often made from Trebbiano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Overall, Rubicone wines are well balanced and deliciously quaffable—this is not surprising for a region like Emilia-Romagna, where food and wine are inseparable.
