Ruffino La Solatia Chardonnay 2001

Tuscany, ItalyLa Solatia is 100 per cent chardonnay aged in French oak for six months and another six months in bottle. It has a green apple, mineral nose streaked with butter peach and citrus highlights. The texture is slightly oily but fresh with buttery, nutty, mineral, apple skin flavours. The finish is a mix of pear/quince and Tuscan austerity.Tasted: 06 April 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
