2020 Ca' Del Bosco "Bosco Selva della Tesa" Chardonnay Lombardia

Notes

From one of Italy’s most iconic and meticulous producers, the 2020 Ca' Del Bosco “Bosco Selva della Tesa” is a stunning and profound expression of Chardonnay. This rare, single-vineyard still wine is a benchmark for Italian Chardonnay, now showing beautiful development at five years of age. The nose is deep and wonderfully complex, with aromas of ripe golden apple, lemon curd, and white peach, seamlessly interwoven with sophisticated notes of toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean, and a distinct, flinty minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, rich, and impeccably balanced, with a creamy, textural weight that is perfectly countered by a vibrant, energetic acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant, echoing with notes of spice, brioche, and crushed stone. A magnificent, age-worthy white with the power and finesse to rival Grand Cru Burgundy.
