In 1979, Lucio Tasca d'Almerita decided to measure himself with the most celebrated white grape variety in the world. So in the mid-80s, with cuttings coming from Burgundy, among other places, about 5 acres of Chardonnay were planted at the bottom of the San Francesco hill, with a predominantly south-west exposure about 500 metres above sea level. Like Cabernet Sauvignon, the variety was not recognized by specific guidelines at that time. In 1989, the first vintage of Chardonnay was vinified and marketed. The uniqueness of the '91 Botrytis Cinerea and the '92 Vendemmia Tardiva vintages will be long remembered.
