Apparently an aged release (under wax capsule) and currently for sale. This is 85-95pc Chardonnay with the rest made up of Nascetta (a local Piemonte variety). The Chardonnay component sees French oak for 12months with 30pc of it being new oak. Deep yellow colour. Classic rich Chardonnay driven nose - peach, cream, apricot. Full bodied on the palate with stone fruit and just a touch of citrus. The nose starts to fall away on day 2, perhaps suggesting limited further aging potential but this is drinking very nicely today as long as you enjoy a riper, fuller expression of Chardonnay.
