NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Fontanella Chardonnay greets you with enticing scents of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla.These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of toasted oak, adding a touch of complexity to the wine.
The palate is equally impressive, with a smooth and creamy texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of ripe pear, apple, and lemon zest take center stage, providing a refreshing and vibrant experience. The well-integrated oak contributes to a subtle richness and a lingering finish.
