The 2017 Langhe Chardonnay Scapulin is a clear and luminous white wine that shines bright in the glass. The bouquet is simple and direct with citrus, yellow peach and touches of toasted almond or pine nut. Dried basil and mint make brief appearances on the close. This Chardonnay is aged in both barrique and clay amphorae for a total of ten months, and this adds to the texture and elegantly compact nature of the mouthfeel. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
