Country: Italy / Were Dreams, Now it is Just Wine
Variety: Chardonnay Northeastern Italy
Winery: Jermann / Venezia Giulia
This barrique-aged Chardonnay tastes a bit too much of barrique, with toasty, cinnamon and vanilla flavors dominating the underlying melon and peach fruit. It’s sexy wood, but it’s just too prominent; tone down the makeup and let this beauty’s natural good looks shine through.
