The Paladin Drago Bianco Chardonnay 2023 is a characterful white wine from the renowned Paladin winery in Veneto, northern Italy. The family-run estate near Annone Veneto embodies tradition, a spirit of innovation and a clear philosophy of quality. With the ‘Drago Bianco’, Paladin presents a single-varietal Chardonnay that delights with its expressiveness, elegance and Mediterranean soul.

The grapes for this wine come from the estate’s own vineyards, which have well-aerated, loamy-limestone soils that lend the Chardonnay power, structure and minerality. Following a careful harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. Part of the wine matures briefly on the fine lees, which lends it additional depth and complexity. The 2023 vintage displays fully ripe fruit, subtle spice and superbly integrated acidity – a versatile and modern Chardonnay with regional character.
