Wine Reviews
De Forville Chardonnay Piemonte 2023
Brilliant, light pale straw color. The nose is moderately intense, offering scents of honeysuckle, green apple, and citrus zest with supporting notes of pear and green tea. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of star fruit, apricot stone, blanched almonds, and quince. The finish is crisp. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $19 – 4 Stars/91 points

Brilliant, medium tawny/amber color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of caramel, dried fruits, and vanilla with supporting notes of brown sugar, gingerbread, and oak. The palate confirms the nose delivering a caramel-driven core with flavors of treacle, baking spices, toasted oak, and marzipan. The finish is long and lingering with generous spice accents. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a supple texture. $31.49 – 4.5 Stars
