White
Chardonnay
By Silvia Rivella, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
A barrel-fermented Chardonnay from a Diano d'Alba grower's vineyard, made in collaboration with Guido Rivella.
Tasting notes
Deep yellow, with intense aromas of apple, banana, lychee and sweet spice, thin ethereal veins and citrus notes behind. Fresh and compact on the palate, full-bodied and elegant, long, with a marked acid backbone that brings freshness but finishes warm and buttery.
Pairs well with
A wide range, from fish to white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
