White
Sofia
By Molino, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Langhe Chardonnay from an east-facing vineyard on the Ausario hill in Treiso, planted since 1995. A short ageing in barrique and tonneau adds softness; the name honours enology and cinema.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with light green notes. Elegant, intense nose with hints of tropical fruit, pineapple and peach, softened by a veil of vanilla, amber and tobacco. Good acidity and minerality and a rich, fascinating body.
Pairs well with
Grilled or baked fish, shellfish, spicy white meats
