Delicious. This is a very interesting expression of Chardonnay. Minerally but different than Chablis. Excellent.

A Chard from Mt. Etna? Little did I know that this is one of 8 wines from Andrea Franchetti’s Mt. Etna project started in 2000.

The nose is gentle with ripe stone fruits, green apple, light toasted nuts, and light spices. Hint of smokiness as well. The palate is quite viscous for Chard with round acidity. Touch of sea breeze on the clean finish. Nice experience.

10 months in combination of cement vats and large oak barrels.
