"GD" Chardonnay Langhe DOC 2020

Dedicated to Giacomo Damilano, GD, the founder of the winery, who had already sensed the vocation and potential of the family vineyards back in the 1920s. In this case, the historic Langhe winery is not confronted with its main grape variety, Nebbiolo, but with the most classic of white grape varieties, Chardonnay. It is, in fact, a wine that was born as a challenge, with the conviction that the Langhe can give unexpected results, even in white. Thus were born a few thousand bottles of a wine capable of living up to the great reds of the area. The result is here to be judged. In the glass it has a magnificent intense straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose reveals an elegant bouquet, with intense hints of white peach, citrus and broom, perfectly blended with toasted notes and peanut butter. The palate reveals a pleasantly soft and enveloping wine, with excellent freshness and flavour, and a long finish and slight hints of spice. A "Limited edition" white that requires a high level of pairing. Excellent with fish first courses, in white, this Chardonnay has no difficulty in holding its own even with delicate and savoury white meats. Excellent, to remain in the territory, the pairing with classic vitello tonnato.
