2020 Ca' Del Bosco "Bosco Selva della Tesa" Chardonnay Lombardia
When people hear Ca' del Bosco, they think of their legendary Franciacorta, but for me, the true insider's wine is this Chardonnay. The "Bosco Selva della Tesa" is their "Burgundian" expression—a profound, serious, and complex white that shatters expectations. The 2020 is a stunning example of their craft. Sourced from 35-year-old vines and aged in French oak, this is a wine of incredible structure and depth. The nose is a captivating mix of golden apple and toasted hazelnut, leading to a full-bodied and rich palate that the winery rightly compares to the structure of a red wine. It’s a sophisticated, gastronomic Chardonnay, perfect for roasted chicken or veal. An exceptional and powerful white from a master of the craft.

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.
