Chardonnay
This Burgundy variety is so versatile and commercially viable at the same time, that it was widely introduced throughout Italy after phylloxera annihilated most Italian vineyards at the end of the nineteenth century. Produced in many flavours all over the country.
Possessing a fruity character by nature - e.g. apple, lemon, citrus - subsequent barrel-influenced flavours include oak, vanilla and malolactic fermentation imparted creamy- buttery components.
