Pio Cesare, L'Altro Chardonnay, Piedmont

Enjoyable, good value chardonnay.

Touch of a waxy italian note to the wine. Its good, its interesting, its different in that Italian textured kind of way. Oxidative apply note. It works at $19 although it doesn't really compel me.

Wines From Barolo and Barbaresco (Barolo) : From magnum... light citrus and mild spice on the nose… decent minerality and a hint of oak spice… minimal diacetyls, no botrytis. On the palate firm acid, moderate weight… lacks strong depth of fruit or richness but has a pleasant finish. Balanced, moderate length, intensity… moderate – complexity. Good finesse, fine texture.

Belle couleur dorée pâle: notee de fleurs, de fruits poire et pomme, le chêne apporte des notes de vanille. Préférable de le servir assez frais, car à 13 degré il donne une sensation de lourdeur. Parfait avec le repas, servir sur un poisson aux épices.
