Wine Review: This Italian Chardonnay from the Puglia region is a very pale white gold color with a light bouquet of honeycomb, Bosc pear, woodsy spice, and quince. On the palate, there is plus acidity, medium body, and nice balance. I found it to be crisp, clean, round, and velvety, with no buttery influences from oak. There are flavors of tart green apple, pineapple, stony minerality, and tangerine with herbal notes. I also detected a hint of white pepper towards the end. The finish is refreshing and very long lasting. Serve with lemon stuffed roasted Branzino. – Mark
