By Tenuta Tenaglia, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A barrel-fermented, 100% Chardonnay reserve aged a year in French oak barriques.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow colour with golden highlights, ripe fruit fragrances enriched with vanilla notes. Elegant, austere yet engaging on the palate with well-balanced spice notes.
Pairs well with
Substantial fish dishes, white meats in sauce, vegetable flans, crepes and aged cheeses; excellent as a meditation wine.
