GRAPE: Chardonnay
REGION: Italy, Puglia
 
Bright straw yellow with golden highlights, this Chardonnay offers aromas of white flowers, ripe citrus, and a touch of vanilla and toast. On the palate it is full and creamy yet balanced by refreshing acidity, delivering stone fruit, hazelnut and a subtle saline streak toward the finish. The oak is well integrated, adding complexity without dominating.
 
FOOD PAIRING: Try with butter-poached lobster or crab, mushroom risotto, roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, scallops with beurre Blanc, creamy seafood pasta, or soft cheeses like taleggio or brie.
