Nice malolactic with beautiful green notes of sage and thyme, lemon peel, merengue, caramel, toffee, and forest floor. Complex and lovely.

Mersault style of Puglia Chardonnay (with little Fiano, a local grape variety) able to surprise a lot.
The nose is youth, wide and rich: white flowers, Chamomille, honeysuckle, ripe apple, lemon and pineapple all entwined with light hints of butter, oak, coffee and vanilla.
The palate is perhaps less rich compared to its bouquet of aromas but it is really good. No faults. Dry, slightly tangy, with a good freshness, it reveals notes of oak, vanilla, white stone fruits all surrounded by a very pleasant creaminess and a good fresh body.
Long aftertaste of coffee, vanilla, and oak. It will age for 2/3 years or more.

Un premier nez peu flatteur qui sent l'herbe coupée. En bouche, c'est autre chose. Vif et surprenant, le vin est hyper fresh, avec des notes d'agrumes et de marmelade d'orange.
