White
Alteserre
By Bava, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Barrel-fermented Chardonnay from the Pieve vineyard, released after bottle ageing.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow. Ample bouquet of green almonds, mango and blonde tobacco. Powerful palate with wood slightly but distinctly present, and acidity that supports longevity.
