Renato Ratti Brigata Langhe Chardonnay

A magnificent Northern Italian white wine displaying a bright, luminous straw-yellow color with delicate greenish-golden highlights. The highly complex nose opens with an elegant, pretty bouquet of crisp Williams pear, ripe green apple, and melon, masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of snappy citrus core, grapefruit zest, delicate clover honey, and a comforting touch of warm pie crust and vanilla from its partial barrel aging. On the medium-bodied and vibrant palate, it balances brightly defined tree fruits and a refreshing, mouth-watering acidity with a charming weight, good finesse, and an elegant, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with roasted chicken, pan-seared white fish, lean fish dishes, creamy pasta recipes, fresh vegetable risottos, and medium-aged hard cheeses.
