By Cascina La Barbatella, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A rare, barrel-aged 100% Chardonnay made only in the best years, first produced in 2015 and held back for extended cellar ageing before release.
Tasting notes
Only a few hundred bottles are made, exclusively in the best vintages, released after at least two years of cellar ageing. A white wine born from a shared passion and a wager, conceived for long ageing, with a nod to Burgundy.
