Cantina Sociale di Nizza Labrì

Chardonnay grown on the Monferrato hills, soft yet structured, with a notable alcohol level. 12.5% vol.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow with a fruity, delicate bouquet in which citron and banana stand out, plus aromatic herbs and thyme. Lively, savoury and elegant on the palate.

Pairs well with

Demanding cuisine, preferably fish; interesting with sushi, with a marked liking for crustaceans and white-sauce risotto. The house suggests spaghetti carbonara.
