Until this wine in the 2017 vintage, I could count on one finger the number of Italian Chardonnays I had offered in my 17 years in business. Now, 18+ years in, that number has risen to two.
And a whopping one more that I have even had in the store on the shelf.
Shout out to Steven Tweddell, who was here at the beginning… I finally broke down, man…
Italian Chardonnay. I know. It just seems… out of place. When there are so many incredible native grapes… and when we can throw a dart and find incredible Chardonnays from California and France… why take a risk on buying a stash of Italian Chard?
In this case, the answer was easy. Why take the risk? Because it is just ridiculously good. I had a glass of the 2016 and was convinced it was on level with $150+ Burgs and $100 ish Cali Chards. So, I started trying to source some. Go figure, it wasn’t that easy. I had to call in a favor! So got some of the 2017 and promptly sold it out. Another favor? Favor granted, the wine is now here. For a very short period of time.
