Bel Colle Langhe Chardonnay

Pelavergas at Trattoria dai Bercau (Verduno) : We started with a bianco. This wine is a local version of Vermentino. I doubted it had seen any oak. After some reduction on opening, there were aromas of pears, minerals and citrus fruit, with suggestions of tide pool. On palate, the light bodied wine showed lively acidity. Lemons, limes and grapefruit finishing on some minerality and salinity. A nice, basic thirst quencher.
