Wine Description

This 100% Chardonnay presents a pale yellow hue with elegant golden reflections. The nose offers a complex aromatic profile featuring white flowers, fresh hazelnut, and subtle hints of fresh butter and citrus. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and powerful yet maintains a bright acidity and creamy texture, leading to a long finish characterized by distinct mineral and fruity notes. Aged for 11 months in oak barrels (20-40% new), it possesses a compact and concentrated structure with an optimal drinking window between 2026 and 2035.
