Bollini Chardonnay Barricato 40 2015

Trentino- Alto-Adige, ItalyThe Bollini brand remains a stylish set of Italian wines under the direction of maestro Neil Empson and his artistically talented wife Maria. The wine takes advantage of the diurnal swing in Trentino to create a fresh style. Some 40 percent of this wine is barrel fermented to add mid-palate texture and weight, while the rest remains fresh and lively - hence the name "Barricato 40". The lees adds texture and complexity to the white fruit and mineral flavours, riding alongside very stylish toasted oak. Built for food, it would be great with roasted chicken, veal Marsala, lobster or crab. Screwcap fresh as well.Tasted: 19 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
