This exceptional set of wines starts off with the 2011 Chardonnay Collezione Private. Richly layered and inviting, the wine delivers warm tones of exotic fruit, peach, butter, white almond and fresh baguette. The creamy richness of the finish is delicious and long-lasting. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017.
