A rich oak-aged Chardonnay from Piedmont. An excellent marriage of light oak and tropical fruit flavors.
Sermine is the name of a small, single vineyard planted with Chardonnay. It produces a very rich wine unlike many other Italian Chardonnays. Giulio ferments the wine at a low temperature before aging the wine in both new and one-year-old oak barrels for 9 months. The end result is a refined and subtle mélange of oak and tropical fruit flavors. This delectable 2006 Chardonnay is reminiscent of their great 2003!
A lightly-oaked Italian Chardonnay that is a favorite of ours. A beautiful read more...
