Marina Cvetic Chardonnay Colline Teatine Igt 2021 - Masciarelli

Also of Burgundian inspiration is Chardonnay Colline Teatine IGT Marina Cvetic: the first international vine planted by Gianni Masciarelli in Abruzzo in the mid-1980s, demonstrating that its Abruzzo could have withstood the challenge of its great cousins from beyond the Alps, the first vintage was produced in 1991. Produced from the vineyards of San Martino sulla Marrucina, close to the Majella, it is affected by the powerful influence of the sea and mountains which contribute to the full phenolic maturity of the grapes. On the nose, Chardonnay stands out for its extremely pronounced notes of lemon curd, spices, jasmine, guava peel, vanilla and cloves. Very flavorful and almost buttery on the palate, with meaty tropical fruit that creates a real sense of texture. An important acidity guides towards the long finish. A wine to keep in the cellar or drink immediately.
