Tenute del Pojo Chardonnay
Abruzzo, Italy
1 x 75cl Bottle
Located in the province of Chieti, Abruzzo, Di Camillo Vini produces grapes on over 20 hectares of row vineyards with organic cultivation and the best exposure to sunlight. The land is located in the municipalities of Poggiofiorito and Arielli, a stone's throw from the Costa dei Trabocchi. This is a clean, fresh, and mineral driven Chardonnay from Abruzzo. Grapes here are picked earlier than the red grapes for ripeness, and freshness, without overripening sugar levels and higher alcohol. The result is a wine in great harmony and balance.
Tasting Note:
A delicious crisp dry clean fresh unoaked chardonnay with excellent weight of ripe pear and peach fruits, well made with great length and finish.
Contessa Camilla Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Terre di Chieti, Italy
1 x 75cl Bottle
This wonderful barrique aged single estate wine is the epitome of what Italian wine is all about. Rich and opulent using native Montepulciano grapes and giving a supple delicious structure. This is a perennial favourite at WineOnline.ie HQ. Great with food or to enjoy on its own.
Tasting Note:
Very attractive dark ruby wine with typical Italian bitter cherry fruit softened with medium tannins. The wine shows layers of fruit concentration with a classy full bodied roundness and complexity, thanks to the 12 months it spends in small barriques prior to bottling. This wine will change your mind about the potential Montelpuciano can have for structure and complexity!
