Tuesday, April 3, 2012 - At winery with Giacomo Contero - Flight of 08 Bussiador, 08 Conca Tre Pile, 08 Romirasco, Colonello

This was a beautiful and polished Chardonnay - I think it has a place somewhere between Burgundy and CA - the toast from the oak is very noticeable and it has a slight buttery taste to it but not gobby. The minerality is unparalleled, like all Piedemontese wines. Saline, melon fruit, pineapple, with supple honeycomb and golden apple flavors and aromas. Very layered and complex with a lot going on. Sourced from 35 year old vines. Put in new barrique for 14 months. Giacomo indicates that he likes new wood because it allows the most micro-oxygenation for his wine style. Very beautiful Chard
