About the grape
Chardonnay, originally from France, has found a unique expression in Italy's Venezia Giulia region, particularly in Jermann's 'Where Dreams Have No End.' This wine, first produced in 1987, was inspired by U2's album 'The Joshua Tree' and its song 'Where the Streets Have No Name.' Over the years, the wine's name and label colors have evolved, reflecting a creative journey. The Chardonnay grapes are cultivated in marly sandstone soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive character. Aging in small 300-liter French oak barrels adds complexity, showcasing the adaptability of Chardonnay in this Italian terroir.
