Salice Salentino Bianco Tinaia 2003

Cantine Due Palme (Italy)

Chardonnay
White Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This wine shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of banana and plum followed by aromas of pineapple, acacia, grapefruit, pear, apple, hawthorn and hints of vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of apple, banana and plum. Tinaia ages in barrique.
