La cucina Italiana - "suggested bottles"
With roots in prestigious Burgundy, Chardonnay became one of the world's most planted vines. While overproduction tarnished its name, winemakers in Alto Adige have quietly turned this notorious grape into incontestably illustrious wines. Our selections here are true standouts.
Alois Lageder "Löwengang" Chardonnay, Alto Adige, 2008
This spectacular wine comes from one of Alto Adige's first biodynamic winemakers and is brimming with quince, passion fruit and apple pie aromas, and heaps of fruit in the full-bodied palate's long, luscious finish.
