The 2007 Chardonnay (white label) reveals gorgeous varietal aromatics layered with subtle hints of French oak, smoke, minerals and ash, marrying tropical fruit with minerality in a quintessential expression of Friulian terroir. This is an unusually energetic, vibrant Chardonnay. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
This is a wonderful set of new releases from Borgo del Tiglio and proprietor Nicola Manferrari. It’s a shame these wines are so hard to find in the US, because they are terrific.
