Light, refreshing fruit forward white. Lots of melon and pineapple aromas and flavors. Easy drinking, good on its own — 7 years ago

Look up all the grapes in this and be amazed (as well as tongue tied). One of Coltibuono’s premier cuvées, it is soft and round and beautiful. — 8 years ago

Ca' Montebello di Scarani Luigi

Provincia di Pavia Pinot Nero

Once again this wine was the favorite. Not too sweet and with a little effervescence, it is light but full fruit flavor. It is best chilled. We served it at a dinner party with my daughter and her college friends and they thought it was fantastic! I have to get more. They drank both bottles I had saved! We served it with roasted turkey, garlic potatoes with mushroom gravy and grilled asparagus. It went well with the dinner. — 9 years ago

Really herbal with lemon pith and baking spice notes. Quite a bit of dairy comes up on the finish. Nice acidity. Love the way it has progressed. Very interesting! #chardonyesway #ridgevineyards #montebello — 9 years ago
