Il Borro Lamelle Toscana IGT

A delightful wine and a refreshing change from Tuscany reds.

Assez vif et droit. De la pomme verte et des agrumes surtout. Belle acidité rafraichissante. Finale de longueur moyenne. Bien!

Surprisingly good with spicy South Indian and Asian clay pot chicken

The wine may be past its prime. There is a spritzy element to the wine after an hour of being open.

This has developed a little more weight, but still very light and zippy. Flavors are still tropical and bright but I did get more lemon this time around. Great wine, great with food, pretty good QPR will buy again if I see it.

Apple. Fruit

Dry with tropical fruit top notes. Foods with lemon detract from the taste. Medium finish. Paired well with seared scallops, spinach, and cauliflower au gratin.

Still hard to believe that this is a chardonnay. Consumed over two days, very reminiscent of New Zealand style Sauv Blanc. I was hoping for a softer and muted wine on day two with a 24 hour slow ox, but it was still: lean, crisp, and a ton of grapefruit. This is definitely a food wine. It is good and well made just an odd ball.

Unripe pear. Very dry. Crisp with a medium mouth feel. Medium finish. Paired well with spicy food. Great for those who want Chardonnay that isn't oaky.

I love this Chardonnay, first purchased in Italy. it is medium bodied and on the palate the yellow fruits and grape shine through. The wine is fermented in oak and stainless, allowing that perfect balance of color, fruit and body to take place. The wine is not overpowered by the oak and has the perfect amount of acidity. Look forward to buying more even at marked up US prices!

On the east side of Tuscany. Which is why they think they can make a 100% Chardonnay. Made at the highest point in the property. With the vineyards spread out according to the soil. About 400 m above sea level here. Tropical and mineral, no oak on the wine. Or rather 20% large used barrel on it. DEfinately has a limestone on the nose. Shockingly so, kinda in a good way. Lean on the palate. This is much better than …

Its hard to believe that this is a chardonnay, if tasted blind i would have guessed chenin blanc. Lots of bright flavors and a good amount of acid to go with it. The wine started much like a Sauv Blanc from Australia, but as it opened up the oxidation softened the acids and mellow the bright flavors. This paired exceptionally well with Ahi tuna tower and other sushi rolls. Good QPR at $25.
