Frescobaldi Winery

Ever wondered what chardonnay tastes like when it's grown and made in Tuscany? Allow us to enlighten you. Quite savoury, dry, even chalky - quite unlike what you'd expect from Australia (thankfully).

A Tuscan red from the great local house of Frescobaldi - gentle and smooth with texture that is close to silky, restrained savoury characters and high acidity to finish.

Just the sort of good Italian chardonnay to offer as a contrast to Australian examples of the variety. The fruit is savoury rather than ripe and sweet and the wine is marked by restraint. It is quite lean, neatly structured with attractive texture...
