I like the intensity and the exuberantly sappy finish

the fermentation and aging are the same as for the centenary Carignan

Walter Scott, X Novo Chardonnay other_regions_italy At least some patience requiredGlistening yellow. Mineral tinged nectarine, orange, honey and white flowers on the intensely perfumed nose. Silky and tightly focused in the mouth, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors that are complemented by suggestions of fennel, sweet butter and saffron. Shows excellent depth as well as energy and finishes minerally, dry and extremely long, with resonating citrus fruit and mineral notes. Josh Raynolds
