This elegant white wine has a pleasant aroma, a fresh smooth taste and is unobtrusively flowery. Fermentation on skins in stainless steel, following organic acid reduction, it is matured in large and small wooden barrels.
100% Chardonnay hand- picked from a single premier vineyard in Edna Valley, a prime appellation for premium chardonnay. Barrel fermented – several with native wild yeast, producing a wonderful texture and mouthfeel. Then aged in French barrels specially selected from several different forests, producing multiple layers of flavor. A complex wine with hints of grapefruit, toasted hazelnut and marzipan – which are found in premium well-aged French chardonnays and champagne. This wine is a real treat ! In blind tastings around the country, Sturino Trotta Chardonnay was frequently preferred over these other fine Chardonnays: Kistler, Pahlmeyer and Paul Hobbs. You be the judge - try it yourself. Like the great chardonnays of France, this wine was made in a style to be aged. Less than 300 cases produced
