Chardonnay with a Mediterranean soul, elegant and long-lived

With a straw yellow color, Chiarandà offers an intense and complex bouquet with fruity notes (yellow apple and pear), floral notes (broom) and elegant hints given by the long aging (hazelnuts and hay). In the mouth it is broad and structured, with a pleasant sapid and mineral texture. A long-lasting white, rich in nuances and with great aging potential.
