Mila
By Colle Manora, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Chardonnay and Viognier blend from the "Tre Querce" vineyard, facing south to south-west, named in honour of fashion designer Mila Schön.
Tasting notes
Deep straw yellow. Complex, elegant nose of ripe fruit with a hint of honey. Clean, elegant, balanced palate where the Viognier character comes through without losing freshness and acidity.
Pairs well with
Risottos and rich seafood dishes including large crustaceans; blue cheeses and carpaccio.
