Chardonnay, Willamette Valley

From AMBASCIATA DEL BUON VINO An aroma full of peach, citrus fruits, and white flowers. On the palate, there is balanced and soft fruitiness. A wine of great personality, with a young, fresh and very elegant style.

From TIME PLACE 17 months in 66% new French oak aging. This Deep Purple wine is full of aromas of dark, black plum and cassis. A luxurious palate of blackberry and cigar box with hints of ripe plum leads to a long finish with chewy but supple tannins.

From SIRO PACENTI Structured and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish. This wine comes from two vineyards with vines over 35 years old; annual production is around 30,000 bottles. 99 pts. James Suckling

From MAURO VEGLIO Ruby red. Warm, balanced, long finish with round tannins and a vanilla aftertaste. Drinking well now, but with the potential for great longevity.

From GIOVANNA MADONIA Bright ruby red color. Flowery aromas of violet, morello cherries and red pulp fruit with hints of aromatic herbs and slightly spicy notes. High-acid mineral finish. Sangiovese 95%, Merlot 5%.

From CHâTEAU LES CROISILLE Pale ruby in color. The nose is full of red fruits, mainly cherries and cranberries. Muted dark fruit and mushrooms on the palate with gentle tannins.
