2019 Banfi Fontanelle Chardonnay 750ml
typical chardonnay from Montalcino, elegant and complex that
expresses at best the characteristics of the territory.
The mild winter temperatures and low rainfall allowed the vines to begin
the growing cycle within the standard timeframe. During the night of April
8, some vineyards were hit by a late frost, which delayed the
phenological phases of the vines. However, thanks to mild temperatures
and sunny days in the spring, the vines were able to regain their growth
and production balance, reaching excellent ripening during the following
months. The harvest began slightly later than usual, but the continuous
ventilation and good temperature fluctuations in August and September
allowed the grapes to develop excellent acidity with very interesting
aromatic profiles.
The result is a straw yellow colored wine which on the nose, it is
characterized by intense fruity and floral aromas. In the mouth, hints of
pear, apricot and elder blend in a smooth and well balanced structure,
with a hint of sapidity
