By Fontanafredda, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Fontanafredda's 100% Chardonnay Alta Langa, aged a minimum of 30 months on its lees in the traditional method, from estate vineyards above Serralunga d'Alba.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow colour with fine, persistent perlage; intense aromas of dried fruit, bread crust and honey; fresh, fragrant and creamy on the palate
Pairs well with
Aperitif, and versatile enough to accompany a full meal
