Vie di Romans Ciampagnis Chardonnay 2022

The flavours are richly layered with a mix of sweet and crisp notes, accompanied by green apple, pineapple, and a note of citrus

Complex, high-quality wine with a rich, soft texture, but a notable lack of profoundness and nuance. The color is a pale, golden hue, and the sediment is a pleasant, sugar-like consistency. The temperature for serving is 12-14°C, which seems to be the optimal range. The aroma is a delightful mix of apple, peach, grapefruit, and citrus, with a whisper of butter and vanilla. The finish is sharp and citrusy, with a lingering acidity. A surprising pairing is sturgeon poached in milk, which adds a creamy, indulgent element. However, be cautious of the alcohol content, which is over 14% VOL. A thoughtful and nuanced wine, but perhaps not to everyone's taste.

Delicate and elegant Chardonnay has emerged from the cellar, its light nuances unfolding with each sip. The absence of oak aging has allowed the wine to retain its gentle flavors, even as its smoothness is both crisp and satisfying. A perfect pairing for refined fish and tender white meats, this Chardonnay is a masterclass in stability and restraint.
