## Summary

A fresh, fine Langhe Chardonnay with good structure that can age a few years in bottle. First vintage 2019.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow. Exotic fruit and grapefruit on the nose, then delicate floral notes. Fresh and savoury on the palate, of good body, with a hint of honey on the finish.

## Food pairings

Fish, shellfish and crustaceans; also vegetable dishes; with age it suits spicier recipes.
