James Suckling
"Nose of sliced apples, ripe apricots, peaches and melon. Fruity and relaxed, with medium body and an easy finish. Drink now. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2023). This Tuscan shows a fine balance between the freshness and vivacity of the Vermentino and the structure of the Chardonnay. A salivating cuvée, thanks to the aromatic palette provided by the marriage of these two grape varieties!
