Chardonnay Arhiva 2007

A charming dry white wine with a straw-yellow colour and a delicate fruity bouquet, in which the aroma of ripe pear stands out. The wine’s harmonious character is defined by fresh acidity and a full body. It gains special richness through aging in an acacia wooden barrel, where it develops a persistent fruity aroma with hints of almonds. The wine pairs excellently with expressive dishes such as homemade pancetta and stockfish, also with a lightly smoked touch.
