Cavit Maso Toresella Riserva Chardonnay 2023 Trentino DOC (75cl, 13%)

Maso Toresella Riserva Chardonnay is a white wine from the Valle dei Laghi in Trentino, in the foothills of the Dolomites. It is made from 100% Chardonnay, and the altitude and cooler mountain climate help the grapes keep their freshness while the fruit ripens. The grapes are picked by hand, carefully selected and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in oak barriques, followed by six months maturing in barrel and a further six months resting in bottle. The nose shows lemon zest and crisp apple with subtle toasted notes. On the palate come ripe apricot, peach and melon, with gentle toast and texture from the oak and bright acidity. The finish is fresh and persistent, with stone fruit, citrus and a savoury oak edge.
