Langhe Bianco 2016, Roagna, Italie

Region: Langhe (basically white Barbaresco).

Grapes: Chardonnay with a bit of Nebbiolo.

Vinification: Organic grapes fermented in large oak vats with indigenous yeasts.

Tasting: Really amazing Chardonnay. Good lord. Not too much to say. Oak influence is subtle and well integrated. The wine remains fresh and zippy and mineral but with a browning butter backend to support it. Complex, lovely fruit.

This is from the same vineyards as Roagna’s Dolcetto.
