Duilio Dacasto Bourg

A barrique-fermented Chardonnay, first made in 2011 and named as a tribute to Burgundy.

Tasting notes

Pale straw yellow with golden reflections. Complex, with mineral notes, ripe fruit and toasty hints in good harmony. Savoury, full, persistent, with good structure and freshness.

Pairs well with

White meats and structured fish such as salmon; also worth trying with oysters or fresh to medium-aged goat cheeses.
