Meroi, Chardonnay D.O.C.
(SHAR-doh-nay)

 

Tasting Notes: A remarkably bright, golden hue draws one to Paolo Meroi’s Chardonnay long before the aromas of this remarkable wine reel them in. Fermented in the barrel, it offers a host of complex, decadent aromas that include banana, cinnamon, green apple, and butter. Unlike many of its California counterparts, Meroi’s Chardonnay offers the rare opportunity to experience the wonders of the Chardonnay fruit itself, with the wood offering just a subtle, yet crucial impression.
