Chardonnay 'Bastia' 2023

From the 'Bastia' cru, located next to the winery at 500 metres above the village of Monforte, this is fermented and aged in barrique for twelve months where Fabio keeps the wine on its lees but avoids battonage and uses minimal sulphur. Straw yellow with elegant bouquet of yellow flowers, butter, banana and honey, the palate fresh and full flavoured. There is some very good Chardonnay in northern Italy and this is right up there with the best.
