The 2018 Alto Adige Chardonnay is a steady and mildly perfumed wine that gives you a genuine and naked expression of the grape. The wine is simple and linear with creamy lemon, quince and pear. The finish is lean and crisp, but there is enough volume here for a pairing with Thai shrimp in coconut milk. The wine ages on the fine lees in stainless steel vats for four months. Some 206,700 bottles were made. This wine offers terrific value.
