Cantele – Chardonnay Puglia IGP 2023
Puglia, Southern Italy 🇮🇹

Fresh aromas of yellow apple, pear, and tropical hints with delicate floral undertones. On the palate, notes of ripe peach, citrus zest, and melon combine with subtle hints of almond and white flowers.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaning toward a fruit-driven profile rather than oak influence.
