Chardonnay DOC Alto Adige

Tasting notes:

This wine has a beautiful, pale yellow colour with greenish hues.

It is intense on the nose, with a strong aroma of toasted bread and freshly ground coffee, while still leaving room for underlying hints of citrus and apple.

A well-structured, strong and rich wine to the palate, it has a pleasant, smooth finish with notes of fruit and roast-coffee and a subtle touch of brioche.
