Castello della Sala Chardonnay Bramito del Cervo 2016

Captivating, vigorous, highly enjoyable "younger brother of Cervaro": 100%Chardonnay, shortly macerated cold, fermented both in oak and SS. MLF in oak (partial).

Soft brass color, light gold glitters.
Delicately charming and exuberant of creamy mango, passionfruit, salak, nectarines, white chocolate, nutmeg, aldertree smokiness, linden blossom, banana.
Elegant yet structured palate. Medium body, vibrant acidity. Mango sorbet, nectarines, pear, white plum, pineapple, tangerine.

Another positive surprise on a Montreal restaurant wine list. This Chardonnay from Umbria by Antinori can beat many pricier Bourgogne village wines. Elegant, creamy texture with impressive balance of ripe apples, juicy lemons and crisp acidity with a deft use of oak. A lovely pairing with delicious spaghetti vongole and yes, even the Barbaresco truffle pasta!
