Frescobaldi Castello di Pomino Benefizio Chardonnay 2000

Tuscany, ItalyThe Pomino Benefizio chardonnay is blended with small amounts of pinot grigio and pinot bianco. It's barrel fermented for 12 months and handled in a classic way. Look for a grassy /honey resiny spicy nose with vanilla and citrus flavours. The oak should settle out with time. A reserved version of chardonnay as winemaker Lamberto Frescobaldi says you don't need to shout say something intelligent.Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
