Di Lenardo

Smoky Chardonnay combines vanilla and hazelnut with creamy apple pastry, lemon meringue and graham-cracker flavours. The rich style remains bright and fresh through juicy acidity. Production includes partial fermentation, three months in new American oak barrels, maturation on fine lees and complete malolactic fermentation. The wine comes from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and the bottling uses composite DIAM corks.
