## Summary

A barrel-fermented Piemonte DOC Chardonnay from the single Carossi vineyard, the estate's own hilltop site.

## Tasting notes

A highly complex nose of white flowers and hazelnut with well-integrated wood notes. Sweet and mineral on the palate at once, savoury and harmonious with a persistent aftertaste. The estate says this wine can age for several years.
