Coppo - Chardonnay - Monteriolo 2009
Tasting note
Bright yellow with golden hues, Monteriolo offers juicy flavors of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and melon, followed by pure, fragrant aromas of vanilla, apple pie, caramel, and chamomile. On the palate, the bright acidity balances the supple tropical fruit flavors. A rich finish lingers on the palate with a note of tangerine.
