CHARDONNAY SALENTO IGP WESLEY SNEJDER

White Wine – Wesley Sneijder Salento Bianco 2022

From the exclusive "The Wine of the Champions" collection by Fabio Cordella, we present a fresh and elegant white wine: the Wesley Sneijder Salento Bianco 2022. This expressive drop from the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento in southern Italy reflects the creativity, precision, and brilliant spirit of Dutch football legend Wesley Sneijder. A refined premium wine for moments that call for playful lightness.

Character & Style

This 100% Chardonnay white wine presents a modern, refined interpretation of this classic grape variety.

The warm, Mediterranean climate of Puglia with its abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes from the Ionian and Adriatic Seas allows the grapes to ripen perfectly. At the same time, they preserve their natural freshness and balance. The result is a vibrant, approachable white wine that perfectly captures the radiant and fresh character of southern Italy – creative and precise, just like Sneijder's genius passes on the pitch.
